Mr. Steven Burgess:
Leading on from that, the stimulus package is meant to be about growth and jobs. Not only will we incentivise them or seek that they participate directly with the SME sector, we will also seek to incentivise them to engage those who no longer work in the industry. Hopefully, this will encourage apprenticeship and engagement of the long-term unemployed under the contracts. We are looking at mechanisms in that respect. Public procurement is a difficult area but we are certainly looking to find mechanisms to do that.
