Okay. I will move on, although I wonder whether we should have a high profit commission as well as a Low Pay Commission.

Regarding to the question of subminimum wage rates, Mr. Courtney and the commission seem to agree that it is okay to have people doing identical work, with 17-year-olds on 70% of the minimum wage, 18-year-olds on 80% and 19-year-olds on 90%. How is that justified, either for those workers themselves or for the impact it has on wage levels generally in creating this subminimum wage rate?
