Mr. David Moloney:

The feedback was from the Departments which were trying to deliver projects. Departments that were trying to deliver projects were saying that projects were at risk and that people were walking away. They were very strongly of the view that there were serious issues that had to be faced. Then it is a question of how we face them in a way that is fair to the taxpayer as well as to the individual contract.
