So, Dirprwy Lywydd, I've very much run out of time now, although I have taken a number of interventions. In the short term available, I've briefly set out some of the key actions we've taken in line with the committee's recommendations. We published a progress report for all the recommendations of the deep-dive, as was acknowledged by the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee. We need collective action across a number of areas in Wales—action by businesses, in communities, and those actions that require the UK Government to take its share of responsibility. We need urgent action to fix the broken market, to protect consumers this winter and to rapidly move away from fossil fuels and build a resilient and sustainable net-zero energy system. And I'll finish just by thanking once more the committee for its valuable work. Diolch.
