I am asking whether we can do it as legislators. Can it be legislated for? I would appreciate it if the answer could be given to the committee through the Chair.

I return to the EU directive that provided for this. Given the roles that the NDFA and the Department have, it concerns me that advice was not sought from them on the scrutiny of this legislation and how it could be put in place. Are the representatives telling the committee that protection of the subcontractors has not been considered? In both of the roles that the NDFA and the Department have, have they taken EU legislation into account in informing their decision about the models that are used?
