Mr. O'Gorman said the general milk pool could have carried the cost. In talking about that, and to get a handle on what kind of figure we are talking about, we have to know the exact volume of milk. The volume of milk is more important than the number of suppliers because we are talking about the volume of milk. If one could know the volume of milk that was held by suppliers who have more than 10% of their milk in a fixed price scheme, that would be helpful. In general, people who have less than 10% might not like it but they will grin and bear it, whereas once the volumes go up it is a different scenario.
I am sorry for interrupting you, Senator.
