In view of the two conflicting deadlines for the project, the Committee sought to determine whether the Department had received written assurance from the DBSA that the new deadline of August 2012 would be met. To this end, the Department noted that it had not received written confirmation from the DBSA. The Department reported that it only found out on 23 January 2012 about the revised completion date and that it still needed to engage with the DBSA in that regard.
