You may recall that Minister Baird said that the contract would be extended because of clause 6.1.7. My question is with regard to the consultation. Obviously you more than anybody else, and Siemens, would know this contract. Presumably any intelligent minister would have approached you beforehand to confirm that a clause could actually be used to extend a contract.

So before he made a public declaration that the clause could be used to extend, was there any consultation with you, who had been working on this project over all this period of time?
