I do have just a few follow-up questions, but first I will stick with that last subject matter. I know you said that the delivery mechanism for the Powering the Regions Fund will be decided through the budget process. I accept that. My question is whether you've had any feedback from industry or regulators—or from any quarter, really—that the grants hub for hydrogen hubs and modern manufacturing initiative programs are substandard vehicles for getting projects up and running and whether that's therefore factoring into your decision-making when you decide on the delivery mechanism for the Powering the Regions Fund.
