Clearly we have a difference of opinion about the level of reporting. As to the information that is being published, there are a lot of corporations that hide behind commercial-in-confidence, as we all know. There will be certain corporations that would argue that publishing at the facility level provides commercial-in-confidence information. We would argue that the community has a right to know specifically about individual facilities. But I recognise that is a difference of opinion we have with the government and it is not going to be resolved.
