Both of those are budget day decisions. I will not comment on what Deputy Michael McGrath or other political parties might be saying about this. The budgetary process will begin in September. Members of the House are commenting on what we have said today. I will be approaching budget 2020 in good faith and in a professional way with Deputy Michael McGrath and Deputy Cowen. It is not the purpose of the summer economic statement to indicate what budget day decisions will be. Decisions on carbon taxation or any other matter will wait until we are putting together that budget. However, choices open to the House and to me regarding how we protect our economy in the event of a disorderly Brexit taking place will be really important. A disorderly Brexit would mean there will be other things we cannot do. It would mean that the act of making choices and deciding where we place resources will be more important than ever.
