Mr. Chairman, if the question is whether the various contractors who experienced higher costs, whether their bid now with this adjustment would have been higher than the next bidder, I do not know. I would guess that because this was by tender, because all the bidders would have faced these same cost overruns, then it would not have made any difference. The lowest bidder is probably still the lowest one because I am assuming that the second lowest one would have had these same cost overruns. Thank you.
