There is a specific proposal within this amendment that is worthy of merit. The Minister has not said that this idea would be subject to the tax strategy group paper's, work that will be ongoing this summer. I believe it should. I take the Minister's point on estimates. We can only go on what the Department has provided to us. There is a significant yield from this measure. Is the Minister saying that capital gains tax on individual gains should be charged at the same rate as the top rate of income tax? Would he be open to the proposal of having that considered at the tax strategy group?
