No, I’m not suggesting we have the debate here tonight. I think it needs to be done in a different time and venue. I just want to say two things and then my time is up. One is that the books from De Beers are not being handed out by the government. They’re being given out by the company, and albeit they’re being given out in our schools and to our schools, they’re not coming from the government. These iPads presumably are coming from the government, and I think they are being recognized that they are coming from the government. I don’t have a problem with the concept of the iPads, giving the information to the parents. I do have a problem with the fact that we are, as a government, giving out materials that presumably are going to have a corporate brand on them. That’s the debate we need to have.
