The word Dr. Doorley used was "benchmarking". We have to level the playing field first in terms of the anomalies and particular situations that exist and after that there should be indexation, whether it is done by price or wages. The other thing we must protect against is the danger that work does not pay and becomes marginal. It is important that we encourage as many people as possible and that it pays for them to work. I will leave it at that. I thank the witnesses for their very insightful discussion and presentation. What I like most about it is the plain language because it can be very complex. It is great in order that we understand it better. I thank them both.
