The Department does not know. If any of that is wrong, I ask the witnesses to revert to me.

On the baseline programme that has been outlined, and we will not go back through the change orders, the design changes and all of that sort of stuff, is it the case that there is no baseline programme out to February or March? How many change orders have been made in the last few weeks or months? If there are changes still happening concurrently, is it not the case that the contractor is not going to provide a final baseline determination as to when this is going to land because it does not know when the changes from the board are going to come? There have been so many changes over the last few months that the contractor is not going to put its head on the block and say it will be February or March.

That is what I am taking from this discussion.
