Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. That was a great diversion, Minister, from the question, which is: did you promise the industry an audit and why was the audit not done? I think the parliament would be very interested to know why the audit was not done. Because it is being sold, people in the industry want to be sure that whoever takes it over understands the nature of the industry. Secondly, in relation to access beyond next year, we also want to know whether the scourer and its associated dryer will be open and accessible to all members of the industry over the life of the scourer—that is, five years. So what about the audit, Minister, and what about the dryer?
