It is the actual demand. The capacity we are trying to build by the end of September, with 200 testers carrying out 7,200 tests a week, is a capacity in the system to do 360,000 tests a year. Looking beyond September and coming back to my goal to reduce the waiting list below ten weeks, I know we may have a spike in dealing with the learner permit issue. As there are between 50,000 and 60,000 in that regard, there may be a spike. With a capacity of 360,000 tests in the system every year, we should be able to bring the waiting list significantly below ten weeks by this time next year, based on the maths we just discussed. Am I right or wrong on that?
