Thank you. So under our current agreement then, I will take it that tolls going into a trust cannot be clawed back, but taxes can. The Minister explained that this will give public assurance that the money will actually be spent on highways. Why did not he consider this with the hotel tax? Why not a hotel toll that could not be clawed back, that would be put into a trust and spent on tourism? Thank you.
