As I indicated right at the beginning, we essentially agree with all 10 recommendations. We agree in full with nine recommendations. With recommendation 6 we agree in principle. PGPA rule 18, which recommendation 6 relates to, has been redrafted to address the JCPAA recommendation. However, we are still working through some of the details on the obligations on all officials in relation to the commitment of public monies and in relation to the mechanisms that are used in order to achieve the intent of that recommendation. We have not reached a final point in terms of how that guidance will be finalised.
