There are a couple of matters that I want to raise with the minister, and now might be the time to do it. Obviously, the government has had a fairly major change in relation to these issues, and I just want to be clear on what the argument was for the cap and why the government is now seeking to remove that cap. Is this because the government anticipates that people will be able to negotiate a rate higher than the cap? Is there an expectation that other matters, such as employment, will now be able to be included in any of those arrangements?
