Minister, I am referring to the diesel which is made available to off-road users at the present time which attracts no excise. It will still get a 38c a litre fuel tax credit. We are talking here about the users—and there are many of them—who currently use diesel without paying excise on it. That is the comparison I am trying to draw. I believe that the users are farmers—the department might be able to confirm that. But there are some users at the present time who do not pay excise on diesel and yet receive a fuel tax credit of 38c a litre. Is that not the case?
