Minister, the whole point of this exercise is to establish just how much you understand your amendment. It is no good blaming the PUP; they are not even here. The PUP have not even spoken in favour of this amendment. They have not said one word in support of this amendment. This is the government's amendment, drafted by the government for the benefit of the government. You have an obligation to explain to this chamber the consequence of this measure. You say there are 25 businesses affected—25.
