Let me tell you, as it stands at the moment in the tourism industry when you see cafes and others that are having to shut on public holidays and Sundays, the employer gets nothing out of it whatsoever because they cannot afford to open their doors. I think that this is a win not only for small business but also for those people who are relying on that employment. It is much better for those businesses to operate and employ people on those days rather than be forced to shut their doors and go broke because they are not able to do it.
