I understand that, because of the legislative time frames that we had around this, we had to operate this particular provision under guidelines. I am informed that the website you are looking at simply reflected the guidelines at the time. As I have said, we are now moving to a process where the guidelines, which reflected some discretion in those matters, will be removed and simply supplanted by the legislation that we are hoping to pass today.
