Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Whenever we introduce a new tax, and especially when we link it to achievements and growth in a particular area, then we probably do not know for sure whether it will work. In the case of the hotel tax, if the revenue that it generates is not showing any substantial difference in the tourism industry, the number of tourists who come here, the amount that is spent on tourism, then certainly we would want to look at it. I can assure the Member that any new tax we introduce would be subject to that kind of review and scrutiny. Thank you.
