Would you not have been concerned about the possibility of some conflict of interest here? Also, given that you hired two companies, which stood to do probably more work for the government, the inference or possible thinking there might have been that if these two companies made sure the finance minister's project was funded, they might in fact get some more work. Might there not have been the possibility of a conflict of interest there on this, as well? Were you not concerned about that at all?
