It is just that I am curious that, with delay after delay, it is said that subcontractors have said there is not a hope in hell of reaching the target of February 2025. Given BAM's record, and we do not even have to go into that, Mr. Gunning is not liaising with seeking advice from the subcontractors who are dealing with sections A, B and C and are tasked with the completion of it overall in whatever they are subcontracted to do. Mr. Gunning has had no engagement with them. He deals directly with BAM. BAM says February 2025, Mr. Gunning comes in here and tells the Committee of Public Accounts that February 2025 is achievable, yet nobody has had a word with the subcontractors who are saying there is not a hope in hell.
