I have a son who puts that point to me every time I meet him for lunch. It is a very interesting one.
Because it is the contemporary debate, could I bring Dr. McDonnell back to the question of the short-term measures such as energy credits? If I understand him correctly, he thinks the correct strategy is to target money at those most in need to cushion their passage through the increases in grocery prices, etc., and to suspend the temporary short-term measures? Is my understanding correct? I do not want to talk him into party politics.
