Okay. Mr. McEnery does not see a conflict of interest in him, as the chairman of the regulatory board, individually providing financial advice to either a nursing home or more large corporate groups in the context of the apparatus of the fair deal scheme and the crash, during which time the nursing homes were under massive financial pressure, and to the big players that came into the market and acquired them. Am I correct that there is a lot of money to be made in the private nursing homes area?
