I thank Mr. Barnes. In answers to numerous questions from Deputies, we have discussed the issue around debt targets and GNI*, which is GDP. It sounds to me that Mr. Barnes is recommending that our Government set a domestic debt target. That is so much about our borrowing and debt management in conjunction with our EU partners. How does that interact with our EU commitments? What does Mr. Barnes believe the Stability and Growth Pact will look like in a post Covid-19 world?
