Yes, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister's correct. I believe we are the only one. So we have, again, a lease that's underperforming in terms of value for money. I appreciate that the territorial government has many different priorities, but an unsafe building that's not fit for purpose -- or sorry, perhaps unsafe is too extreme a word. But a building that known security concerns that is not fit for purpose, I don't think is in our interest to continue on this track. That's my position. Obviously, there are so many needs in the territory, but to continue to ignore this is just throwing more and more money at this lease that will seemingly stretch into infinity. So if we're going to pitch -- if we could pitch the dream infrastructure projects, I think we need to put courthouse back on the table because this is just a bad use of public funds. And I don't need the Minister to respond. I think I made my point clear. Thank you.
