It is the opposition’s belief that this amendment has some merit. We have concerns that standards be maintained. That has been addressed in some of the other amendments. We have sympathy for this amendment. Ensuring that there is a high standard for installations within the industry is important and maintaining those high standards will only be to the good of the industry. Indeed, we have seen terrible examples in other industry sectors, particularly the insulation sector, where the failure to maintain high standards has damaged everyone in the industry. That is why this is so important—to make sure that we do keep those standards very high.
