I thank you, Speaker, for your advice as well. My next question refers to section 1068-B1 and the section of the act that contains the rate of JobSeeker. I asked earlier about the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee. They recommended a substantial increase to the rate of JobSeeker. My question for the minister is: does $2.85 a day constitute a substantial increase to that rate?
