I've got no problem with JSCOT and the great work they do, Minister—I've been on that committee for many years—but it's a rubber stamp for the government if you want to get these changes through. JSCOT have an inquiry, they collect the evidence, there's potential for senators to dissent, but essentially the recommendation that comes back here, that will be debated in parliament, is a government controlled recommendation. It's essentially you putting up what you want. There's no chance for us to amend that. Is that correct?
