Mr. Eddie Taaffe:

The affordable will be a separate exercise, so it will be for both. My opinion is that we will need significant extra staff resources. For example, if one gets involved in CPOs, one cannot go out and CPO any field one wants. One has to have a justification test, which means an analysis of land must be done, which takes resources.
