Would that be the case even when a mitigation plan has been submitted to the MECP and the Director has provided consent to a mitigation plan? If so, then there's a significant risk to the AVB, why would the potential threat be evaluated at the start of an engagement and rejected at that time if the risk is deemed to be unacceptable by the Director?
