Mr. Graham Doyle:
I suppose my biggest concern right now in terms of housing output and deliveries across the system is interest rates rising. I think that creates a lot of concern. There is risk aversion out there in the industry. Of all the challenges that get mentioned, I think that is probably the biggest challenge that is out there now. We have talked about inflation and we have talked about supply chains. Some of that is settling, albeit at a higher level.
