Following on from that point, let us take the working person and public sector pay. When we had increases in public sector pay back in the champagne days, those were blamed for causing significant inflation and for a recession. There is an expectation that public sector pay will have to rise to take care of and try to compensate people for the hyperinflation we have now. Does Mr. Barnes see public sector pay as a topic that might be fraught with danger regarding how we approach it? Are we potentially going to add more money to the fire of inflation? What is Mr. Barnes' opinion in this regard?
