I have one last question, if I may. I want to understand where we are up to with the issue of collective bargaining. I know the LEEF talks have produced recommendations in that regard. As the witnesses will know, we are an outlier in Europe in terms of not having a right to collective bargaining in this State. When are we going to see draft heads of the Bill to implement a strategy for collective bargaining and transposing the EU directive around adequate minimum wages?
