I appreciate the clarity on that.

This is based on a Cabinet decision made over a year ago and outside the officials' bailiwick. As officials in Departments, however, they must give advice to the Ministers on how to give effect to the decision to have an industry contribution. What type of options did they provide to the Ministers on an industry contribution? One of them is the levy that is here in two different forms, namely, 10% and 5%. Were there other options on the table?
