I'm not sure I haven't delved into the numbers um in that level of detail. Uh, but our concern was more around the things like, you know, the inflation is good for tax revenue, you know, the the well-known tax bracket creep, but also GST, those sorts of taxes um benefit from a bit more inflation. But this inflation is different. It's not because the economy's doing well. You know, this is not the sort of inflation that increases firms' profitability. In fact, firms' margins are very squeezed. Uh, we're now expecting unemployment to be higher.
