Mr. Masterson did not intervene. I am the person who negotiated on this issue. The IRHA developed a tag for the very objective of achieving the 10% discount for hauliers in order that they would not have to pass the cost on to the consumer. Mr. Masterson, in particular, was the roadblock to achieving that. He failed to give any direction to any of the operators to institute the 10% discount in a meaningful way.
