Okay. I accept that section 51 might not be the location for this proposed text, but where in the preparation of any draft development plan, which will be a ten-year plan, will an assessment be done of measures from the previous plan to address unsustainable and high carbon-emitting transport patterns? We can learn from our previous development plans what was done correctly and what is working and what is not. We can then make amends in this regard and the new plan goes forward from there. Where in the whole development plan process, therefore, will an analysis be done of the transport patterns that emerged during the lifetime of the previous development plan?
