All we are doing is exploring the idea. We have seen it work in a similar jurisdiction, namely, the UK. There are things which if they can work should be considered. We did not have the time to do that during the relatively brief timeframe available to us last year. This measure is one of 71 actions contained in this report and I believe it is worthy of further consideration. No decision will be made in the near future. There will be proper scrutiny of the issue and there will be plenty of further opportunities to debate it when the time comes.
