I understand what the Minister of State says, and the State should do its best to get back the money it is owed. I am trying, however, to avoid placing more burdens on businesses. Every big business starts as a small business. If we place more burdens, difficulties, barriers and red tape on businesses it is less likely they will get off the ground. The person fined should pay. We should find a way to do that but it should not involve the employer.
