Mr. David Gunning:

Those were adjudications. Adjudications are outside the contract and happen under the Construction Contracts Act. They are a separate matter. Within the contract, we have conciliations. In a conciliation, either party may accept or reject the outcome.

Whether we accept the conciliation or reject it will depend on the status of it as it goes forward.
