I acknowledge the point and I have already drawn Parliament's attention to an unfortunate expression that Mr Sheridan used earlier to refer to two Labour members.
As the minister will be aware, tenant farmers are often reluctant to express their views, because they are concerned that their landowners might not take too kindly to them speaking out.
The minister's statement is therefore simply unacceptable, given the committee's strength of feeling on the issue at the last meeting. The documents should express in black and white exactly, and in real terms, what has changed.
The SNP has had seven years to propose an alternative to the council tax but has not done so. I give credit to Tommy Sheridan when it is due; he deserves credit for his proposal for a Scottish service tax.
In particular, we need to use developments such as the Scottish credit and qualifications framework to encourage mobility between institutions at various entry points.
It is an interesting idea to block off part of the sea bed for 10 years and to ensure that mobile gear does not go down there. My only fear—I expressed it at the time—was that we were subjected to only one side of the argument.
