That is fair.

Following up from my colleague Deputy Brady's query about gathering data on CEO remuneration, obviously we see so many fantastic charities across this State that put huge work in, and so many people are constantly supporting it, but there have been times when people have had concerns about the remuneration of CEOs. That is something that has had quite a focus placed on it, and there is the impact that has had as well on people's confidence and their willingness to put money in it. Does Ms Delaney think it would be good to have a situation whereby we could look at what charities, or what percentage of charities, provide salaries to their CEOs that would place them in the top 1% of income earners?
