That answer went down a different avenue than the one in which I was going. Of course, water quality and biodiversity is a whole other huge question. That is not what I was probing. For example, through Brexit, we have a lot of statistics on imports and exports with England. I do not know if anyone is using those figures to see how we can be more resilient and sustainable as a country. At one of this committee's first meetings, I mentioned that we were importing 110,000 tonnes of potatoes, between seed potatoes from Scotland and edible potatoes from England. I would love to see us using the statistics we have gathered from Brexit to see how the whole island, the Republic and the North, could become more resilient. We have to help each other out. It is one island, irrespective of borders and with the climate emergency, we will have to support each other.

My first question asked if we were doing anything to promote businesses North and South, looking at carbon reduction rather than importing everything. It is a whole other thing, that is right, and it is different from water quality and biodiversity. We could have a whole other meeting about that.
