Thank you. In large public infrastructure projects, and I dare not attempt to define what that may or may not be, but has there ever been any consideration that instead of writing the general to sign off on the fact that they paid their contractors or subcontractors in good faith, has the government ever considered writing the subs to ensure that they’ve been up to speed or paid up to date? Now, I realize that every dispute can’t be a simple yes or no, saying yes, we’ve been paid up to date or no, we haven’t. So I suspect and I recognize the difficulty there, but there would be ways of ensuring that they are paying, so when they’re signing off that that’s part of the compliance agreement to ensure that leads to their bond being released. Thank you.
