Mr. Chairman, the issue is of the letter of support for the negotiated contract being either agreed to or not by Cabinet. Once that decision is made, the issue of conflict, as far as I understand from what our system tells us, is no longer an issue. In this case Premier Roland — Minister Roland at the time — had written a letter of support. He declared conflict when the issue came before Cabinet and was not in the room when the decision was made that already was signed off, as we just discussed, by Premier Handley. After that, this goes into the capital process. The negotiated contract process takes place, and it then becomes just a matter of other business that the government is doing and is not a matter of further potential conflict.
