I heard the Minister of State's preceding answer and am not asking him to go over all of that ground again, but he mentioned that there were 398 CSP schemes throughout the country. They have been told that, as of last December, the 2016 financial plan will need to incorporate any additional cost necessary to implement the minimum wage requirement. That is why we are discussing the issue. It means the extra amount required to pay employees the increased minimum wage will not be covered by the Department. That is basically what the Minister of State is saying.
