I will come in with some of my own questions now. This may be a question for the Department of Finance. Does automatic indexation, even if it was something we could pause or set aside at points, help more generally with budgetary forecasting? I am thinking in particular of the kind of budgetary forecasting in reference to demographic planning and so on. Is it useful as a tool in that sense?
