Mr. Mark Griffin:
Absolutely. I do not have it available to me, but the costs are determined by ComReg. There is a very detailed analysis by ComReg which, effectively, regulates the costs. It will look at every single line item submitted by the concessionaire in terms of the projected costs for the year in question and make whatever hard calls it deems appropriate in ensuring the cost is pitched at the appropriate level.
