The Senator is probably right. After eight months of research in Britain, even it admitted that there was a problem in this regard and that workers needed to be given a legal right to receive their tips. Right now the Minister is placing herself somewhere to the right of Boris Johnson. Seriously, we need to do better than that. I, therefore, ask the Minister to work with us and not kill the Bill today as there is too much at stake for workers. We have gone out of our way to build consensus on the Bill. I ask the Minister to join us.
