I have one final comment. I was disappointed not to be here last week due to illness, and so I could not speak to Amendment 204 on the “polluter pays” levy, but I did watch online. I was also disappointed at the Minister’s response, particularly the assertion that we already have such a levy through excise taxation. This is not the case, as all costs are passed on to consumers while companies continue to make huge profits. The Minister has been most helpful in this group already, and I hope to continue this conversation beyond the passage of the Bill.
