Thank you for that intervention, Mark. Obviously, making a change like this can't be a—. I think we heard earlier, perhaps in a different debate, there's no silver bullet. This on its own cannot revolutionise the economy. We also need to have far more investment to make sure that there are higher paid, quality jobs, but I don't think that anyone would look at the tax system that we have in Wales and think that this is actually doing what it should be for the people of Wales. And I believe fervently that a change like this would benefit the people who need it most in our society. So, let's create a system that truly works for Wales, and a fairer future for everyone. Diolch.
