I ask the minister to clarify this. What is not clear to me in the $3 billion savings is how they are specifically related to the smartcard. Is there not double-counting between the savings that are projected from the smartcard and other general antifraud and compliance measures? I wonder whether the minister can confirm that the $3 billion over 10 years is specifically and directly related to the introduction of the smartcard.
