Mr. David Moloney:
I do not want to comment on any particular case but, for example, if a contract was extended multiple times, that might create the conditions in which a contract of indefinite duration was triggered. There are clauses in the legislation that could trigger a contract of indefinite duration, but a CEO serving two terms, which is done, would not trigger a contract of indefinite duration.
