I appreciate that. I appreciate that the witnesses were not involved in this project when it started 20 or 22 years ago. However, as they came into their positions and their predecessors moved on to other positions, I am sure there were hand-overs, conversations and background knowledge given to them as to how the OPW ended up in this mess, particularly as the witnesses are carrying the can for it as we go forward. What relationship is there with ICML at the moment? Do you know these people first hand, do you have a good working relationship with them, or is there no working relationship there?
