<p>We will implement these changes in the most cost effective way possible. While
we anticipate there will be cost savings in the long term as a result of using our

to lead the world's efforts to recover from the coronavirus pandemic and allow us
to seize the opportunities ahead, as we prepare to take on the G7 presidency and host
COP26 next year.</p><p> </p>
