Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

No. We would use the same standard pricing models. To go back to the Deputy's original question, how we determined what we were prepared to pay would have been based on experience on the international protection front in terms of standard rates of payment, standard room rates, and so on. That would have dictated what we saw as an appropriate scale. Broadly, the answer is "No".
