My next question is for the CCPC. I will come back later to the OGP. It has been mentioned that a system of screening for bid rigging has been applied in a number of jurisdictions; Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands were mentioned. In December 2020 the Hamilton review group made recommendations including legislation to enable the collection, collation and analysis of all public procurement data in order to detect bid rigging. The CCPC's engagement with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in this issue has been referenced. What is the current status of this legislation and the implementation of this recommendation, to your knowledge?
