I would like to ask about the Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance Council. During the committee meetings, concerns about information leakage were raised on two occasions. On this point, could you clarify specifically what measures were taken in response to the initial concerns raised and what measures will be implemented going forward to prevent information leakage? Putting technicalities aside, in the case of a competitive bidding process, any information leakage would cast doubt on fairness and neutrality and could lead to the process being deemed unsuccessful. This, in turn, could damage the trust of approximately 93 million policyholders. I would also appreciate your views on this matter.
