Many agricultural contractors throughout the country are registered as sole traders. I accept what the Minister said about examining this issue in advance of next year's budget. It would be prudent to devise a definition of an "agricultural contractor". We could then probably move forward. It would give clarity with regard to the difference between a civil contractor and an agricultural contractor. I will not say any more on it. It is just something the Minister might consider.
