I think if it were simply that the permits required consultation, we would have a bit more understanding of the dilemma that sometimes the government and the department itself are under, but we're not talking here simply about the permits that are at risk and require consultation. Over 50% of permits fall in that category. We are talking about permits to open countries, where typically it would take 10 days to receive a permit, for example, an ally like Australia, that are now taking up to four times as long. This is really the crux of the matter for us, which is that even open countries now have been paralyzed, I would say, by what is going on with this system writ large—substantive risk aside.
