We are aware of the challenges that the textile and clothing industries are facing. We are committed to fostering the long-term viability of these industries. The last budget was very supportive of the textile industry. Taxes were reduced, thereby giving the industrial sector, as I pointed out earlier in my opening remarks, an opportunity to reinvest their tax savings in equipment and machinery in order to increase their productivity.
