Chairman:

I agree with what was said by the other members who have raised the SME sector. What small and medium enterprises are being asked to do is against the principle of how they do business in that they protect their rates and the business that they have, and they are being asked to share their information with others to make up the critical mass to make the bid for whatever business might be going.
