As I just said, repayments have been made in relation to this program; a process has been gone through and repayments have been made. In no way should that take away from the fact that, where claims are made and repayments ought to be recovered, governments ought to find ways to undertake to recover those funds. That's an important principle that ought not be lost, notwithstanding the challenges in relation to this program and the fact that those repayments have had to be made.
