Perfect. How will it be possible to publish those targets if the LULUCF will not be devised for another 18 months? If one is breaking it up between the different sectors and one of the sectors is missing, does that not make it difficult to allocate among the remaining sectors? The fact that the LULUCF was not included in the sectoral ceilings was also of concern in relation to meeting the targets. Has the Minister obtained legal advice on delaying the incorporation of LULUCF into any of the targets, the ceilings or the budgets, for another 18 months, at least?

The Minister spoke about ministerial accountability and having developed an accountability framework. Will he go into more detail on the metrics being used and how he will hold the various Ministers to account? That is very important. Will it be done in a transparent manner? Will that information be available to the public?
