I will explain what I am trying to say. When we are sitting here at the Committee of Public Accounts in February 2025, Mr. Gunning might come before us again to say that BAM has now told the board that it will be June 2025 or December 2025 before this is substantially complete. It does not matter when or what year for the purposes of the point I am making. Is Mr. Gunning really telling us that BAM holds all the cards here? If BAM says at some future stage that the relevant date has changed again, must that simply be accepted as the case?
