I appreciate that. We touched on this in a discussion earlier. I also understand that the minister’s answer is that, yes, while the government is expecting an increase in the number of CCAs carried out, you cannot then say that there would necessarily be an increase in eight-week non-payment periods. In fact, the outcomes of those assessments could be different. The point is that there is a high potential that there will be more people subject to eight-week non-payment periods following CCAs. Is the government intending to monitor that and look at any potential negative consequences that that will have, in terms of the increase in the number of people subjected to the eight-week non-payment period, and, if there is, possibly doing something about it?
