I do not accept that. I referred to the strategy of the Department of Finance. The strategy has to take in the immediate risk to the economy posed by Brexit and Mr. Trump. The Department of Finance is the lead Department on taxation. I would have loved to hear Mr. Moran say that, within his Department, there is a model that examines the various reductions necessary in corporate taxation and other taxes to keep this economy competitive. I do not get a sense of that.
