Mr. Hubert Loftus:

I would not necessarily think so but, if we are coming back to the Deputy with a note, we can clarify that. I suppose what one has there is a design team. An architect would be the lead on that. He or she would be the employer's representative. The architect's job would be to make sure that the contractor is delivering on its contractual obligations. The judgment and assessment that was done there was that a termination was appropriate.
