I want to go to the issue of institutions opting in. Specifically, I want to ask about Catholic institutions. We know that most Catholic organisations are financially and operationally independent entities, and we talked about that during the inquiry into the bills. We have the Catholic Church or their entity that is being established opting in. Could you update us as to what percentage of Catholic organisations have opted into the entity. First off, I'll ask that. I'll have some other questions after that.
