Yes. It is a matter of that figure. Today, there are five yards are in compliance with local authorities. There could be six next year, seven the year after or 20 the year after that. There is a fear among the committee members that the recycling targets are not actually being met with regard to this product. We realise there is pressure here. We realise there is significant pressure in trying to find a home for this product. However, we need to find out what is happening and where. That is a genuine question within the farming community. The farming community is doing all the right things but it is being said to this committee that there are stockpiles in some locations and they are not going through the required recycling process. That is a frightening prospect.
