That is great. The cost and value for money are important and we have to address those but rapid deployment of high-speed broadband is the major issue because that speaks to the policy behind all of this and seven years is not rapid deployment. I want to try to understand the contingency plan that the Department looked at in 2019, in particular, when it stated the following: "The information presented in this document has been developed with the intent of illustrating what could potentially be achieved in a plan B scenario using high level assumptions and assuming favourable timelines to complete a number of complex tasks." Does that imply that the costings of the alternative were not detailed in nature and it was more high-level analysis or was it detailed?
