The original timeline had this done and dusted to be up and running for 2021 but that will not happen now. It is tied to budgets etc. There are three regulations and much progress has been made in two of the three. With the CAP strategic plan, the new delivery model and compliance performance, there is more work to be done. As I said at the outset, it is not entirely satisfactory. We are playing two games simultaneously and they are connected. One relates to the budget and having the financial resources to do what we want to do but we must also ensure there is a CAP that is structured in a way that is reflective of the financial resources we have and which is compatible with our climate agenda etc.
