Mr. Watt stated the terms of the new circular marked an improvement. What I am hearing is that notwithstanding that revision, the criteria remain pitched too high for many small quality established operators. Is there a willingness on the part of the Department to listen to and, crucially, act on the experiences of these small operators? For instance, is Mr. Watt willing to meet some of them?
