You talk about a range of assumptions and the extent to which the United States will take action, but we have come up with a specific price in the modelling. That would suggest that you have to come up with a specific type of action and try to correlate the specific type of action that you presumed the United States would take. Is that the extent to which the United States has taken that action or not? Can you please explain to me how a range of actions from the United States—from no action at all to a 20 per cent reduction; I do not know what your range of actions is—could be all incorporated at exactly the same time to come up with one price?
