I am not knocking what the witness is saying, which makes sense. Does inflation ever come into the equation in the debate because ten years ago it was all about inflation? I know our economy could not compete in 2007 and 2008 and that was one of the reasons we took such a hard bang. I understand that. However, I know when I was working in recruitment and people were going for salary increases, it was always because of inflation. Is inflation off the table because it is so low or is that ever referred to?
