I will not. Any decision on taxation has to reside with the Minister for Finance and the recommendation that he or she makes to the Government. I will be informed and advised by what the commission will do, but given that it has not even begun its work, it would not be appropriate for me to say that I will automatically accept the outcome of said work. I will be informed by it and I am sure I will accept many of the commission's recommendations, but I would have to see the work and the commission's output before I decide on whether to accept all of its recommendations.
