As in all government programs, programs start, and they start for particular reasons. Whether they're economic reasons or social reasons or political reasons, they start, and then they end. But in this particular case, what I think would have been helpful and appropriate would have been to sit down with a sector and say that we're in a time of austerity, a time of financially challenging times. We can all understand and buy that. Asking how we are going to manage this, what you are giving, what we are giving, and what the end date of this is going to be I think would be appropriate.
