Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For some greater clarity, the $62 million full cost that Mr. Handley advises of, was that the actual amount of the settlement ordered, or does this amount also include the cost of legal fees and advice that the government incurred in this? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, the $62 million is just the cost of the settlement. It does not include the legal fees.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can the Minister then give us some idea over the years of what is the accumulative cost to the government of representing our interests in this case? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Has that expenditure then been allocated or covered in some other field, or is that an expense yet to come before this Assembly? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
