I reply to my good friend, your plan is just as subject to the calls in here that it is a tax as is ours. But you send it back to the taxpayers. What we do is to give it to research and technology to try and improve the efficiency of the spectrum of organizations. We will have a proper pie chart tomorrow, showing how we take the money we collect and send it to research and development to improve our ability to develop solar and wind and all types of things. That is the difference. You are, in a sense, a tax collection agency. You collect it and give it back to the people. We collect it the same way, but we then put it into where technology will benefit the people.
