I am not even sure, Mr President, that that question is based on facts; it is just based on a simple assertion. You have no basis to make that assertion whatsoever. I think the answer to the factual part of your question—and I am happy to come back and add to this—is that the directors of the TNBN Co. will be paid around $40,000. I am not sure that that has been absolutely finalised at this point in time, but it is around $40,000. The TNBN Co. executive chair, Mr Doug Campbell, is being paid, I think, $210,000 to be the chair and the CEO. I think that is the factual answer to the rest of your question, which was pure myth, hypothesis and assertion. (Time expired)
