I am keen to advance the debate, so perhaps I could put some questions on notice. Minister, I may be mistaken, or I may have blinked and missed some of the debate, but I think I put some questions on notice about 26 hours ago in the debate. This is not a criticism. There were some answers given. I may be mistaken and I am happy to take it up with your office. I do not want to unduly hold up the debate on some of the matters raised. Minister, I am happy to have communications with your office in relation to that. I may put some questions on notice before the end of this debate. The minister indicated that the International Energy Agency suggests that white certificates may not be the best approach. Could the minister provide more details?
