We cannot discuss it across the floor of the House, if the representative organisations are in the discussion. I am making a legitimate point that we should facilitate and allow that to happen, but I will not allow it to drag on interminably. I will take action in respect of bringing a proposal to the Government. It then has to be legislated for and the legislating Department is the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. That is the point I was making. There are also broader issues related to recruitment and retention with which we will have to deal.
