It is true there are matters in respect of the future cost of this project and how we can save money on it on which the Government is still working. That is why we have appointed Fred Barry as the new chair of the board and why we have a PwC report under way. The Deputy acknowledged that none of us has a monopoly on wisdom or certainty in respect of this matter. It is my genuine view, having reviewed where we are and other options, that the best course available to us is to move ahead with this project and through the work that is under way by PwC and the Government, look at finding ways in which we can deliver the project as cost effectively as possible while looking at the lessons learned to date, which we acknowledge are very big.
