Mr. Derek Tierney:
There was an intense round of engagement last summer, probably at the end of June and in early July. A number of things have happened since. Royal BAM's executive on this project now attends the site once a month to make sure BAM International has a presence on site and understands our concerns, the Government's concerns and the concerns of all stakeholders. The contractor has upped its resource level, and in particular its subcontractor level. The resources increased from July 2023 to the end of last year. We saw a break over the Christmas and new year period as you do with any holiday season. I know from speaking to the board yesterday that those resource levels are back up to the pre-Christmas levels.
