I agree with my colleague on these amendments. It is important, especially given the context of the current climate, that we see a move to a more progressive taxation system. That is especially true in light of the fact that the committee voted to retrospectively tax those who lost their jobs and income through no fault of their own but due to the global pandemic. Accepting these amendments would be a strong signal from this committee that we want to move towards more progressive taxation. I support the amendments.
