Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given the minister’s acknowledgment that the owner-driver protections will be reviewed in 2007, will the minister now give a guarantee that those protections will not be watered down in the future? Given that the government has recognised that owner-drivers are vulnerable to exploitation, why has it left the door open to scrap these protections?
