There was reference made to deals. A deal was recently done in Silicon Valley which was done in respect of a quadrillion. That is the type of money we are talking about. On decision-making and public services, the witnesses spoke about the exclusion of marginalised groups. Maybe they could elaborate on that. We had a couple in here, particularly in respect of people with disabilities. The people who are forming these codes and programmes have not got a clue about people with disabilities but they are actually forming the codes that make the decisions.
