A number of different mechanisms could have been used instead. One of the calls has been to eliminate all tariffs and excise taxes on sports equipment, and while you've certainly made some movement in that area, a lot of tariffs remain. By eliminating these tariffs you're reducing the price, you're influencing the price elasticity of the demand right at the point of decision. But a better way rather than delaying the benefit to the household by 15 months is to get them that benefit right away, which again is why I refer to the CCTB as being a better mechanism. It is targeted to households that are struggling to overcome these economic barriers that inhibit their children's participation in sport.
