Minister, in your answer to one of my questions, you started to touch on the issue that I want to go to briefly next, which regards providers in thin markets that may fall over in the transition phase due to these changes. What other things do you have in mind to assist those providers, particularly in the thin markets? Is it the existing measures that you have articulated, or are there other things that you will undertake to ensure that providers in those thin markets—where they are likely to be the only provider—are not going to fall over or that there's something to put in their place?
