To be helpful, I will pick up on that question to Mr. Malone. How does NBI plan to make up for the lost time, and what assurances can it give that we will not be here six or 12 months down the line, notwithstanding, that we hope we will not have Covid-19 to deal with in the same way. However, there are many moving parts to this project. We hear about supply lines, materials and the workforce. There are two questions. The questions are on the schedule for getting back on track and when the seven year plan will be published, and on assurances that we will not be here again in six or 12 months' time.
