Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
In terms of the specifics, protective suits were also mentioned in the opening statements. We had to take a significant impairment because we had more than we were going to use. I will have to check where they physically are at this stage. I will ask the director of procurement. I am not aware that we have anything else. In general, as the CEO said in the context of specific large amounts of stock that are unusable, our expectation is we will use all of the PPE stock within its shelf life.
