It is ongoing. I will move on to the leases. Maybe I am naïve. I am certainly surprised by how many public buildings we are leasing and the expenditure on that. It is fair to say that half of all public buildings are leased rather than owned by the State, and about 40% of square footage is leased rather than owned. What is the total annual cost of that?
