Yes. I certainly agree with that.
I will have to ask people to be brief because we are running out of time.

We might touch on that later. I noted that your submission says that some activities are being paused or stopped. Can you say anything about that? How did you decide on those activities?

As I am a substitute member of the committee, I am perhaps less familiar with some of this than some of my colleagues. It is interesting, however, that, having listened to the questions, I am in some of the same space. The question that I was going to ask you was, if you had not existed for the past year, what would the difference be? However, I am also open to hearing from you that that is an unfair question and that I should really wait 10 years and then perhaps ask what difference you have made. Is that an unfair question?
