I will follow up on that, as the Minister touched on my next question. The report makes a point over and over about the need to broaden the tax base. In recent months, we have heard a great deal of discussion about how, as per the programme for Government, we will not increase income tax and that there may be income tax reductions or a change in income tax. Last week, we discussed how, while wage increases could lead to inflation, changes to income tax could also do that. Does the Minister accept that?
