Okay. Thank you very much. I'm going to do my impression of a quiz show host now, because we've got to the last round of questions, and it's a quick-fire round. I just want to touch on legislation. Clearly, you have a very broad remit as Ministers, and that…

Scrutiny of the Minister and Deputy Minister for Climate Change - session 2
Okay. So, what is your strategy, then, to reach that final 1 per cent of people who can't get decent coverage, and are we looking at use of public money to reach that final 1 per cent?
, Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Scrutiny of the Minister and Deputy Minister for Climate Change - session 2
Thank you for that. One piece of evidence or some of the evidence that we've received as a committee suggests that—and this is to the Deputy Minister—user representation of the group doesn't exist, and whether an end-user sort of voice should have been part…

There we are. Okay, thank you very much. I want to move on now, then, to broadband coverage and connectivity, and I'm just wondering what you can tell us about the barrier-busting taskforce that has been established, and what that's telling you in terms of…
