I would agree with that. The witnesses talk about missing the carbon budgets for the second carbon budget. Despite almost achieving the 7% cut this year and in the first quarter, I think we see a 2.2% cut. I know you cannot extrapolate that out of the four quarters to say we will reach 8.8% because that is not the way it works, but it is certainly heading in the right direction, despite a growing population, a booming economy and many people saying it could not be done. It is mentioned in the opening statement that there is a lack of significant progress in certain areas. Will the witnesses outline those areas for me? I know agriculture has managed to cut to some extent. Energy has cut to a certain extent for various reasons. Transport is still problematic.
