Mr. Gerry D'Arcy:
I would not necessarily agree with the Department in that regard. The case was lost but the circumstances were outside the control of the gallery. In 2002, we expected a massive development plan to commence within 18 months. That did not happen, and then we had to try to manage that situation all the way through from 2002 to 2011.
