I wish to compliment all of the speakers. Mr. Light is right that we are reaching a conclusion at this point in time. With that in mind, I wish to offer the floor to Mr. Doyle, Ms Quinn and Mr. Light for any final comments they would like to make. I would particularly like to highlight the crucial role that women play in retail. We know that they make up the majority of workers in the sector. As has been highlighted in the submission to the committee, we also know that challenges remain in respect of the gender pay gap that exists in this country in particular and the issues of insecurity that have been raised before. I offer the floor to the representatives from the union side in terms of balance before we finish.
