Yes, but there is another issue here. You can certainly have a higher national target. If that did not translate into the gateways and caps, then of course it would not result in any more compensation. It would be done somewhere else in the economy. This question is specifically about if Australia adopts a higher target and that higher target translates into the CPRS caps and gateways. That is the issue that I am talking about, not whether you have a higher target and the effort is made somewhere else in the economy. I just want to clarify that.
