On that point, one of the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly was that there should be a carbon tax on the agricultural sector, for example. Has there been any analysis done on the consequences and the potential consequences of that? I believe Mr. Watt is wrong on the 22% increase in livestock numbers in the past period of time. That figure is exaggerated. There has been an increase in the dairy sector and a reduction by the same amount in the beef sector to compensate. The figure is more in single figures than 22% that Mr. Watt referenced.
