I do. The OPW uses approximately 2,200 properties. It owns 60% of them and leases 40% of them, roughly speaking. Obviously, the owned estate is the great asset we have. We are engaged in intensive negotiations regarding the 40% of properties that are leased. We have absolutely no difficulty providing further information to the Deputy and the committee.
