That is why I asked about our carbon taxes and this carbon contribution. Any tax or contribution is going to go back to the individual to pay for an item or service - petrol or diesel, or whatever - and that also drives costs and inflation. If that would get rigidly tied into the carbon contribution and our carbon taxes, and if they cannot be adjusted, is that not a concern for the Department of Finance here?
