My understanding is that the income reporting was suspended until last Friday. So for the period—I think it was the two weeks prior to that—nobody was required to have reported income. So you can be absolutely assured, in giving an assurance to anybody who is anxious, who believes that they should have reported income during that period and didn't, that there is no issue at all that they didn't. Income reporting commenced again last Monday, once the system was back and able to cope with it.
