To pursue that further, in the presentation from Mr. Courtney, he states, "When we made our recommendation of a 7.6% increase in the national minimum wage inflation was predicted to be 4% in 2023".

If Mr. Courtney had that information then and if the projections then were that inflation would be 7% next year, would a different recommendation have been made for a higher increase?
