It's a good thing for Josh. We know as well that, with the global pressure that's on, many people are in situations like Josh's. We acknowledge that. We're working to do the best that we can to make a difference for them and to find out information for them appropriately. I'm reporting to the House, I would have thought, in a way that is respectful of the member for Grey and his constituent. I'll continue, as will everyone on this side of the House, to do what I can to act in circumstances which are difficult for people. We know that that's the case. We can't just wish it away. What we can do is do what we can to take action. I thank all those involved. I think Josh had already received a phone call from Eyre Fuels to inform him of what was occurring just five minutes before I rang back to inform him of the situation. He's a delightful young person, and I wish him and his family all the very best.
