If I'm hearing you correctly, the number was agreed. You had to convince your colleagues to give you $50 million, for this part of the deal at least?
But there has actually been no analysis of the need or whether this is going to be an efficacious program, and it does have a time limit of just three years, which indicates the hasty and short-term nature of the deal. Is that correct, Minister?
