Mr. Chairman, is the Minister then saying that the public is under the wrong impression that because fuel tax is taxed as fuel, it is not necessarily true that particular amount of money paid is necessarily going to be used to repair the potholes that he is experiencing while he is driving down the road. Therefore, it is identified by commodity rather than for purpose. Is that correct?
