The Minister put that expertise on the board. That board was tasked with the responsibility of bringing this project to fruition within budget. If there were failings of the board, then those have to be laid directly at the feet of the Minister. I do not know if the Minister accepts that responsibility and those failings. I am firm in my belief, however, that the political accountability for the failings lies at the feet of the Minister. Does he accept that?
