I will close on this. I expressed my astonishment on the day the Department representatives were here that there was nobody from the Department who knew whether it was legally responsible for carrying out age verification. Tusla seemed to have a contrary view. I am even more surprised that, days and days, if not two weeks, since we had that hearing and this issue arose, we still have not got that clarity. I hope the Department will provide that clarity on a matter of extreme public importance.
