And I am asking the question here. I seek clarification as to whether the figure is correct. I am assuming it is correct, which then means that many smaller companies that we are trying to encourage to develop and grow may not be getting a fair crack of the whip. If it is the case that we have a tax credit in place that is simply going to the top companies and is not filtering down to smaller companies, is that cause for concern? The setting of the policy is not a matter for Mr. Cody, perhaps the Department can respond. Has it any concerns? I will put this question to the Department officials. Has Mr. Hogan any concerns about the application of this particular tax credit?
