Everyone wants to come in, but we will come to you last if that is okay, Mr Harvie. If you could be succinct, Mr Brown, that would be good. I know that it is difficult, and I am sorry about the timings today.
I hope that many have support from family and friends, as Christina had, particularly in her partner, Keith Brown. However, the family, too, will need support.

We have received apologies from Keith Brown and Alexander Stewart. The only item on this week’s agenda is to take evidence for the final time as part of our inquiry to feed into the consultation for the UK Government’s review of the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020.
I would like to ask a final question, but I am completely out of time, so I will share my thoughts with regard to Mr Brown’s question. In relation to funding, is it fair to compare Scotland as a non-state, if you like, with other states?
I want to encourage people to think great thoughts. If Mr Brown, or Mr Bibby’s party more generally, wanted to go away and think of measures that might obviate the problems, I would very much welcome that.
I take this opportunity to welcome both ministers to their new roles and to thank the former cabinet secretary, Keith Brown, for his engagement with the committee over recent years.
