This was not an invitation to Mr. Harty to go off on some reverie in a series of distractions. I have made my point on the issue of the contracts. It might interest him to know it is a position shared by many of the workers who provide care. Please do not accuse anybody sitting on this side of the table of having misconceptions. There is no misconception. The reality is that zero hour contracts are used routinely and it is wrong. For anybody to come to this committee and talk about prestige or quality while participating in that practice is ludicrous.
