I have one final question. Development contributions and a land value sharing tax are not the same thing. One of the things that was said - it could have been by one of the industry representatives - was that they do not want double taxation. This is not double taxation. Development contributions and a land value sharing tax are two very different things. Is there anything the witnesses can tell us briefly about the shape of those two things to give those of us who believe that both should exist in some form comfort that development contributions will continue to exist and that the land value sharing tax will be a separate policy tool? Is that where the Department is with that?
