The witnesses mentioned our debt and that we are in a relatively secure position up to 2025 because of the way it is structured. Post 2025, a number of layers of our debt will come to fruition. Do our guests know if the work in this regard has started, particularly as 2025 is not too far away? This committee is tasked with looking at the medium to long term, so this falls within our remit. Are we looking at what will happen when some of that debt matures, the situation changes and we are in a different environment?
