I must stop Mr. Watt there. Any reasonable person who is planning a project, regardless of what that project is, has an idea of what that project is going to look like, what it is going to deliver, how quickly it can be delivered and how much it is going to cost. I do not understand how, given the complexities of the project, all those logical parts of constructing a building could be set aside, knowing what we know now. I have never understood it, from the very first day that this matter came to light.
