To be clear, Sinn Féin is voting for the Bill. The Minister of State is aware of that. We have worked constructively with him on it. We just happen to believe that, right now, the balance - we have been speaking about balance - is not correct because it does not work for low-paid workers. I have given the Minister of State a clear example to show why it does not work for low-paid workers. We are asking him to consider that balance because if low-paid workers are excluded, there is a fundamental problem and weakness. That is why I am asking him to consider accepting the amendment.
