Would Ornua be prepared to take the 2023 proviso out of this? If, as Mr. Jordan said, there is a 10 cent difference, there is room for the people on the contracts to get, say, 7 cent, 8 cent or 10 cent, and to take this other clause out of it. Is Ornua prepared to make a goodwill gesture like that for those farmers, given the situation they are in at the moment, when it might resolve an issue?
