Thank you. I've got a couple more issues I want to canvass. I indicate that I am genuinely trying to get through these. It would help if I didn't get everything taken on notice. People actually want to hear answers to these questions. I want to ask about the one application rule. If an eligible applicant submits an application involving sexual abuse at two institutions and only one institution is participating, will the applicant be able to access a payment that represents appropriate redress for the abuse at the participating institution and have their application held on file until such a time as another responsible institution opts into the scheme?
