It was the point about trust. If we have an emissions limit for land use of 20 megatonnes by 2025, can we trust that, with the right financial packages and supports in place, including biodiversity and climate supports, we will be able to achieve that voluntarily? It is certainly coming across to me from this session that laws will be needed for us to keep land use emissions within the 20 megatonnes allowable by 2025. Is that the case?
