You have made this point before and you have made it today. That is why I am trying to take you to a different space, outside of what has already been discussed. Obviously there are clear provisions within the legislation about electricity generators or energy suppliers to be passing on the cost. I want to get clarification. Are you saying there is no legislative requirement within this bill at all that, while the inputs—you are of the view—will go down, that will necessarily be passed on? There is no legislative requirement for anyone to pass it on?
