Unlike Deputy O'Donnell, I am not asking the council to proactively support the expenditure of windfall revenues on those things. I asked the question in order to find out whether the council members object to or thought it was fiscally reckless, as against their thinking it reckless to dramatically increase core expenditure we do not have the revenues to cover because some of those windfall revenues may not be reliable in the future. That is the council's essential argument, is it not?
