I am aware of that risk and it is important that the Deputy recognises and raises it again because we will have to keep it in mind as we approach this in September. I hope we can move quickly with this legislation because it is very important.
Getting off-balance sheet financing or finding other financing vehicles, for example, private money, pension funds, or credit union funding are options that are being explored. A couple of suggestions have already been put to the European Investment Bank, EIB, as well. We can find the financing solutions. The responsibility we will have in bringing the legislation through will be to put those safeguards in the regulations to make sure we do so in the right way.
