I want to ask about hotels and contracts. I read somewhere that of 141 hotels, only 51 have thus far confirmed they are prepared to renew their contracts. Mr. McCarthy said the figure of 300 bed losses was a conservative estimate. Where will they go? What will happen? There does not seem to be an alternative. There was a commitment of 2,000 modular homes. When are the first 500 scheduled to be delivered?
