I am the first to indicate that my knowledge of this in terms of the detail is not at the level the minister’s is. I put that to the minister and thank her for her answer. For those listening, though, just so we can get a very simple answer which perhaps might be helpful to those who really want to understand this, could the minister explain for us in very simple terms if it would be correct to say that after three years there will be no assistance? I understand the minister just mentioned something about a review. I am sorry, that was extremely complicated. Do I understand that after the three years there will be a period of review? Perhaps you could answer that a little more simply, Minister.
