That is very interesting. I am annoyed that I missed the meeting up to now because it sounds like the committee had a very interesting debate. I will probably look back on it. Professor Moloney is correct that it is very interesting to see. I love to look at how things are developing internationally and how the conversation is going.

Deputy Boyd Barrett may have already mentioned this, because it is something he raises a lot. He often says that tax expenditures act like a shadow budget. It would be interesting to see what we spend every year on tax expenditures versus actual spending. Will the commission be looking at that kind of analysis as well?
