Mr. Ian Talbot:

Yes. That comes back to the message on which we all agree. If the Minister can stand up on budget day and say there are no new taxes, people will take a degree of confidence from that. The Deputy also asked whether businesses are ready to employ people, which is another aspect of this matter. Those who are ready to employ are waiting for two things to happen. First, working capital is a challenge. Second, they would rather get by as they are than take on new people. They are choosing to squeeze their own time and that of the people they have with them.
