<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’ll speak with the BC and revert as soon as I can but a personal opinion: we need to be careful in framing any “back up plan”. We don’t want to give the impression
that the timeline can be allowed to slip (witness other PDP issues there). This one has to be as on track as possible – we can’t give in to endless repetitive micro-detail debates here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
