I will pick up on that point because I am interested in it. I will just raise two things. On the overall level of funding for the NCQG, I presume it is the case that negotiations will determine where things land in that regard. Will the Minister provide any insights he might have as to starting positions and anything that has come from pre-COP engagements? On the public-private mix as regards finance, will the Minister give us a sense of the levers available to raise finance both publicly and privately? Has there been discussion on the taxation of wealth-related emissions or fossil fuel companies? What type of suite of measures will be considered in line with the Minister's reference to wider reforms of the financial system? Will the Minister start with that?
