As you mentioned, we have been asking for an increase to our funding for years. As I said earlier, I really see openness and progress in terms of access to funding now that we are at mid-term. The mechanism that will ensure we have access to funding is one that is independent and will avoid us requesting money from the department again. I intend to continue with those steps in the long term, but so far, our efforts have mainly focused on immediate funding. As soon as we have established that process, we could discuss how to have an independent and stable mechanism for the future.
