Good morning to all.

Thanks, Minister, for appearing today.

A memorandum of understanding, MOU, is not a legally binding agreement. It is used between parties where they cannot apply a legal commitment in situations where they cannot reach or create a legally enforceable agreement. What we have in front of us you call a TCA. It's an MOU. Were you able to achieve any kind of commitment, a legally binding one, on the agreement that we have in front of us here in order to be able to secure a full agreement in three years?
