I am sure the Minister will join with me in thanking the members of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare for the sterling work they have done over the last 18 months. The challenges the tax base faces are very obvious. It is also strikingly obvious that we need to change who we tax, how we tax them and by how much. Does the Minister agree with the commission's central contention that we need to generate more tax revenue from wealth and assets? If so, does he intend to take any additional steps in this regard over the next period of time?
