The first part of this supplementary question really reiterates the primary question. As I have said, this is probably about transitional issues. As I have indicated, I will obtain advice on that issue. In relation to the second part of the question, what I can indicate is that, as I previously said, loans are to be discontinued from 22 March. I again indicate that eligibility for loans is determined by financial institutions, and I provided figures to the chamber in the previous answer on the number of green loans received and issued, which were, respectively, 2,400 and 1,600 as of 21 February. I do not have advice on the specific issue of whether there are any financial institutions that are no longer participating in the interim period between the announcement and 22 March. I will obtain advice on that issue and come back to the Senate.
