Thank you for that, Minister.
Minister, if you will not listen to me, will you possibly consider the words of your predecessor, the Honourable Scott Brison, who, of course, sat in your seat? He is very esteemed and recently referred to the higher taxation and bigger government that you and your government have created as a "socialist bafflegab" and that it reflects the sort of advice offered to ministers who don't know any better.
Would you promise to the committee today that you will consider the words of your predecessor, please?
