I thank Mr. Cody for attending. Like other Deputies, I acknowledge the considerable work that was done during the period in question. I hope we will be as forgiving in one or two years' time when Mr. Cody is before the committee again to discuss this year's accounts and reconciliations. It was a unique period. By the same token, we should ensure that good practices are maintained.

I wish to focus on the issue of cash flow for three groups - employees, businesses and the Exchequer. Tying in with the last matter Mr. Cody discussed, what is the total liability under the EWSS and the PUP?
