I thank everybody for being here. It is incredibly sobering to hear the witnesses' collective concerns over workers' rights in the sector, particularly in relation to this Bill. I will put an open question to all the witnesses. I have heard the gaps they identified. Some were on our radar - around collective bargaining, for example. Mr. Kane mentioned procurement. I will give the witnesses an opportunity to go into more detail on any of those or to open any other ways in which the Bill can protect and enhance protect workers' rights in a more fulsome way.
