I thank the Chairman for the opportunity to ask a few questions. I will focus on Mr. Gunning and he can defer to others as required. The finish date, by my calculation, is May 2024 from what he has outlined, which will be news to a lot of people but that is how he outlined it. He also said earlier, in his presentation, that in terms of the execution of the value of the bill there has been 8.5% done as opposed to the 22% that was expected. He also used the phrase "rising month on month". Does this mean the level of delay and the lack of targets being met are widening each month?
