It is my understanding that the five per cent fee that exists more than adequately covers the cost of administration of the licensing board and the inspectors, and with less inspectors because there are less operators, less hotels, less bars, I do not see any justification for this type of increase. User-pay does not justify -- this is not an answer to me.
