It is fungible. We have mixed it in that much that we do not know now. I remember there was talk at the time in the Chamber that there was a period of decades where part of it would not be paid at all. The can was kicked down the road, so to speak. It probably made sense at the time. What I am trying to ascertain is for the public to know when we will finally be relieved of this God-forsaken burden that was loaded up on the back of the taxpayer. I would love to know, because it is an issue that has played on our minds for well over a decade. It is a question I asked, but Mr. McCarthy is telling me today that it is all mixed into the one pot. That is a pity.
