A great part of the discussions it had with us regarding the metro involved the slippage of timelines. A commitment was given that a railway order would be issued for quarter 2 of 2022. Unless I have been very delinquent in my correspondence, that has not happened. Given commitments were made here and we had such a large discussion around the slippage of timelines even though we are just at the end of quarter 2, it would be appropriate if we wrote to it to say we note that a railway order has not been made by quarter 2 and to ask whether it could provide us with an explanation. It is important that we sit on it with regard to this issue.
