I thank the witnesses. I apologise for having been in and out. I was at another meeting. I apologise in advance if I ask a question that somebody else has asked. I have read Professor Whelan's views on helicopter money, in the form of vouchers, to stimulate certain sectors of the economy. Is there any area of the economy where he feels it might work without affected inflation? Is there any way to mitigate the effect on inflation?
