That is good. In recent times, this committee has asked particular questions and the contractor has stated that there have been changes to the contract. We know that there have to be some changes. There will always be changes to a contract. Some are instigated by the client and others by the contractor. Is the Minister satisfied that sufficient provision has been made? Is he also satisfied that there is sufficient recognition on both sides that this is an important contract and that it is essential from the point of view of all involved, including the client and the contractor, that matters should be resolved to everybody's satisfaction, including the taxpayer, who has an ongoing interest in this? I say this in the interests of ensuring that we do not get into a blame game. Doing so does not solve anything at all. It does not provide hospitals, schools or anything else. We need to be assured of that. Can we be assured?
