Mr. David Gunning:

Our position on this has been clear right from the start. There has been no significant design change on this project right from the start. Where we make a change or instruct a change, we pay the contractor for the change. We pay over and above the agreed price and that payment is to allow the contractor to provide additional resources for the project. It is not expected it does it with the same resources but we pay for additional resources. We also expect the contractor not to allow those types of changes to impact on the substantial completion date and there is a contractual commitment on that by the contractor. That is the position.

We could get into the design discussion because there is employer design and there is also design from the contractor. The contractor is responsible for a large amount of design on this project. Yet from the way it speaks, you would think it has no responsibility.
