I thank Senator McGahon and Mr. Ó Brolcháin for being the first to reference Napoleon in this committee. I might be the first to reference the Duke of Wellington, who was probably mapping the country in 1812, rather than his adversary in France. I have one question and if there are no other questions from members we will wrap it up quickly. On the 2018 baseline and given the uncertainty there is in 2022, how do we treat the 2018 baseline? Do we look at it retroactively and say this is what was happening in 2018 and we thought it was something else or do we say that what is happening now is greater than what we thought was happening in 2022? I can see political ramifications for different treatment of the 2018 baseline.
