Thanks, Simon.

MP Sloan, I've been talking to Jim Pine on a number of occasions. There is availability of the $1.75 billion. If EORN has leftover projects that can be eligible for rapid response, they can submit some applications—either under a partnership with the bank or from the broader fund. We're sorting that out right now. As Mr. Kennedy said, we launched last week, and we're in discussions with EORN as of two days ago. That was the last time we spoke to them.
