Robert CookGUEST
You have folks like Scott and other elected governors like Scott, small, medium, and large, and some appointed governors from the industry.

Robert CookGUEST
They're at the table, and they're helping to bring the industry perspective right into the boardroom in terms of both decisions like the budget or rules that we need to adopt, as well as oversight and how the programs are being run on a regular basis.

Robert CookGUEST
And even with respect to matters that go through our adjudicatory process, they have the ability to review those and weigh in on them.

Robert CookGUEST
And of course, we have a terrific group of public governors who are part of that discussion as well.

Robert CookGUEST
One of the core concerns for our members is that funding can be switched on or off at a moment's notice, which if you're in the world of infrastructure is breaking a decades-long precedent that there should be stable five-year funding settlements for infrastructure maintenance and renewals.

Robert CookGUEST
And I think your comparison with the sort of emergency powers and the pandemic is interesting.

Robert CookGUEST
So clearly the railways did run on its existing powers during the pandemic and arrangements were made, it broadly worked.

Robert CookGUEST
This is introducing quite significant additional powers in some of the areas to change funding.

Richard BowkerHOST
How can those two things ever truly enable an integrated business plan where you just don't know how to plan where your money's coming from? And that must be a real concern, right?
