Yes, I fully accept the first onus is on the groups to put in a good strategy and to submit it in a timely manner. I have a question, allowing that in most areas, one strategy will be submitted and evaluated. If it is not up to standard, the Department will revert to the group, as has been done with the first strategy, it will point out its deficiencies and will ask for it to be brought up to standard, after which it will go back to the committee. Once it goes back to the independent committee and that committee approves it, am I correct in thinking the Minister of State will be ready to sign a contract?
