Hang on. I need to go into that a little bit deeper with you. I understand that input is sought, but I'm talking more about vision here. If we're talking about where we're ideally trying get this conversation to go—and we've already talked about the importance of it maintaining itself as a joint venture—do you see a continued role for the states and territories not only in seeking their feedback on appointments? Ultimately, does the Commonwealth seek to maintain a sense of shared co-responsibility—you can't have a joint venture unless there's an understanding that both sides have some kind of responsibility for decision-making—in relation to the composition of the board?
