I know that. There are limits to what the State can do in terms of expanding that payment or wider supports. The next phase will involve a targeting of resources to make sure we can get people back to work and create alternative employment opportunities for people who have been laid off. Obviously, we will be borrowing for quite some time, but there is an obligation on us all to make sure that what we borrow enhances the productive capacity of the economy in the medium to longer term. That will mean targeting the funding to areas where we can create employment and create opportunities for people who are currently unemployed.
