That is okay. I apologise. I was late because I was in another meeting. I have been reading statements. I thank everyone for their time and indulgence. If I ask a question that has already been asked, I apologise for that as well.

When defining which wealth and assets would fall under the umbrella for higher or equitable taxation, what cost factors to the economy and to the attractiveness for investors, entrepreneurs and business will be taken into account? What measures would be necessary to prevent these sectors from moving elsewhere and taking their capital employment elsewhere? If someone could answer that, I would appreciate it.
