The Senator is right. That will have to be considered. The purpose of this hearing and of the significant work of the CCAC over 18 months is to assess that. The CCAC looked at multiple scenarios and did not see a pathway to 51% with existing methodology. We have to look at what else we can do to reach 51% by 2030. I make the point as well that 2031 and 2032 are there and are legally binding. We are making progress and have to accelerate that.
