There are people who are on the minimum wage who cannot afford to meet their basic needs. There are people on low pay who are suffering because they live in deprivation. That is the reality for those workers. I am asking the witnesses, as representatives of employers' organisations, what responsibility employers have to meet that challenge and to deal with the very real situations those workers face. I do not see anything in their presentations which lends itself to any real solutions for those workers, that cohort of people who suffer because of low pay. What is the witnesses' solution for them?
