Of course. Will the Leader explain to us how the unpaid leave system will work? What will happen in the case of good patriotic workers who continue to work? Some people do not want to be out of work and will be willing to continue working and take the hit — just as everybody in this House and the other are taking a hit. We must all put our shoulders to the wheel. No-one can stand aside from the national effort. I understand there is a provision that people can defer the unpaid leave and obtain holidays in lieu down the line. Perhaps the Leader will explain how this will work. Does this mean we are getting into a never-ending deferral of the situation? We need more detail on the issues and for that reason, I second the amendment.
