I am running out of time. The Government needs to make a decision on this issue and stop batting it back to the WRC. The latter does not know what to do with it. Somebody needs to clarify the situation. The relief is given out with a purpose, which is to support the industry, create a permanent pool of skilled employees and create employment. The Government, using public money, is trying to meet a particular objective. Whatever about precisely how the WRC may interpret it, nobody looking at the situation can say the test is being met because the people who are getting the money are saying they have no employees. I do not see how that is an industry or how it can be described as such.
