Thanks to everybody who's taken part in the debate this afternoon. I've sensed real frustration this afternoon and, in fact, over the past week or so, and I share much of that frustration. I've heard frustration from a local Member that the pulling of the black route leaves an unresolved issue for her community. We've heard frustration about money wasted, about time wasted, indecision and lack of leadership. I certainly share that frustration. But whilst, yes, we can at this point—and it's more than that—look back, in a way, and ask how and why we ended up in this situation, we have to move forward now. I think this afternoon has been an opportunity—and there will be more, including a debate in Government time in a fortnight—for us to start thinking creatively about ways to address the issue. [Interruption.] Yes, certainly.
