Thanks, Adam Price, for giving way. I was the Chair of the Enterprise and Business Committee in the last Assembly when we considered the initial active travel legislation. A certain Lee Waters, now the Member for Llanelli, came and gave a lot of evidence at that time in his role at Sustrans. We said exactly what you've just said in your speech there—that this shouldn't be a bolt-on. Active travel should be at the heart of all legislation that is passed, and at the heart of all thinking that local councils do. Do you share my regret that that hasn't happened now, five years down the line?
