Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I want to get back to the issue that I raised during my general comments and the issue I have raised before. I have a number of questions for the Finance Minister in regard to the macroeconomic policy division that the Department of Finance seems intent on filling the void left by the departure of the Bureau of Statistics. I just can't seem to get that concept out of my head. You lose something so you have to replace it with something. Somebody in the government woke up and realized that, geez, we might need a macroeconomic policy division. Who conducted the work in this area before somebody dreamt up this new division? Thank you.
