I am aware of that. I disagree on that point as well. We do not know what FTA we will have. We have no idea. We can roughly say today what the position of the UK Government. It wants zero tariffs and wants to strike its own trade deals. It is not interested in level playing field provisions. Deregulation seems to be the policy of the day. That is a far cry from where the EU is at. Neither of the negotiating teams, which not even started talking about the FTA yet, are miles apart. We cannot categorically tell the business community and citizens on this island that the FTA will solve all of our problems. We simply do not know that. The Minister or I cannot give the assurance that the FTA will mean that we will not have to worry about the Border ever again. It is important that we are at least honest about the pitfalls that we could find ourselves in.
