I am stating the obvious but it becomes clear that the relationship between the development board and the contractor is not the one that we would hope for, whereby Mr. Gunning could pick up the phone to somebody and say, “How are you there, Tom? How are things going? What is the latest?” Of course, it has to be a formalised process because of the amount of money we are spending. Certainly in this committee we see a lot of fly-by-night arrangements that lead to bad outcomes in the long run. However, it speaks volumes about the relationships that exist here.
