As the Deputy will be aware, debt enforcement has been suspended. Staff who would have been working on debt enforcement have moved to work on projects I mentioned, such as the temporary wage subsidy scheme and the employment wage subsidy scheme. The biggest single issue was that the dividend withholding tax project did not proceed. That was the big event to happen this year and it did not proceed. In addition, the debt enforcement work has been scaled back dramatically during Covid.
