I would like to touch upon the bringing in of expertise. The recommendations in the Wright report talked about substantially increasing analytical capacity in the tax policy area. We spoke previously about getting the right staff in the Department and Mr. Moran mentioned that today in terms of reputational risk. It has also been raised in terms of salaries. I think Mr. Moran said that 100 new staff have come in. Is he happy with the Department's capacity to meet things like tax forecasting or risk analysis in various areas?
