I do not, as a matter of fact. You asked about how many ILUAs there were, and I was able to tell you, because the tribunal has, by its own inspection of the register, arrived at that number—that is, 126. You asked me how many were pending; you asked me how many were affected. That information is relevant to the process by which the government approaches this legislation. But, now, you are asking me about the content of particular ILUAs. I am not in a position to tell you that. It is not something that I know—the Commonwealth not being a party to the ILUAs. And it is not germane, frankly, to the bill.
