I would appreciate some clarity on section 2. From my reading of the section, it would remove any legislative obligation to set rates for trainees. If the Minister has some intention to bring in further provisions to allow for better rates for trainees that would be fine. However, simply removing this and not replacing it gives latitude to employers to set rates for trainees and would be deeply concerning. Can the Minister provide a brief explanation as to what the intention behind this section is? Is there going to be provision made to ensure that rates for trainees are set on a legislative basis?
