Regarding the tie-up scheme, it has been quite successful and the feedback in my part of the world has been positive. The extension into a second month was welcomed. What are the plans for that scheme going forward? It has been an important part of the industry for the past eight or nine months. The Minister mentioned the fuel issue and how he intervened in the second month in that regard. The fuel issue has not gone away. Are there plans to consider the scheme going forward? What would the timeline be for that announcement?
