I was not suggesting there was a lack of support. I was asking for Ms Hearty's view on whether the economic strategy that possibly should be published would have a positive impact if it were implemented with regard to maximising the benefits from the protocol. If it is Ms Hearty's view that the benefits are as maximised as they can be, that is fair enough, but I am not disputing in any way the support that is there. I feel, however, there is a piece of the policy missing in delivering those benefits. While Ms Hearty has outlined some of the benefits, there could be increased benefits. I was not suggesting there was any difficulty with the funding. I feel there is a little area of the jigsaw missing, which could be quite big, if Ms Hearty sees what I mean.
