Whatever the timeframe is, they are subject to review. My next question is for the Department. Does it accept that mortgage holders have significant reason for anxiety, particularly when one looks at the attitude of banks that are based outside this country? They are not the banks we bailed out. Those banks have taken a different approach to the loans they own. They have displayed an attitude of getting whatever money they can regardless of the consequences for the person who had the loan and in a way that is not true because of the political and public pressure that might be on banks based here.
