That is the phrase I just used. I am acknowledging they have gone up but it has not been raised with me in a way that indicates that there is anything inappropriate behind that. It is a feature, I imagine, of an economy that is growing and businesses within that who are benefiting from that. While I know the cost has gone up, I have not been informed that it is for any reason that should be a cause of direct concern to me. As noted in the answer I have given, it is about trying to respond to an issue that has been raised, that is, that the two-year period could be overly restrictive.
