I want to move on to some other questions because the Secretary General is absolutely missing the point. We all agree there needs to be better engagement and we hope that the Department will endeavour to do that. However, the Secretary General and the Minister are making statements as statements of fact insisting that the Department engages. It does not say that the Department endeavours to engage. It says that it engages with local representatives before the opening of any facility. I am telling him that is blatantly untrue.
