In the construct of these future programs, we are not setting aside any options or possibilities. As I said, we have a whole suite of options. Some of them are reflected in other jurisdictions and some are from private enterprise. There are a whole suite of things, and I do not think it is appropriate to say we are certainly not going to do this or that. We have an open mind on these matters and I think that is appropriate for this stage of consideration.
