Why is that not classified? Bogus self-employment is an issue that is in the public domain now more and more. If it is the case that the work is being done but it is not being classified in that way or is not being recorded properly, then when we table parliamentary questions as part of our job in order to understand the level of the problem, if the Department is not properly recording it, that is a difficulty for us.
I am trying to understand the reason for not doing it. If it is a problem that the Department did not do it in the past, why not start doing it now?
