I will just go back to the answer that you gave to the previous question in relation to marginal improvement. You said that no government has ever set out a formula by which marginal improvement is measured. What is the metric or metrics you are going to use to measure improvement? What happens if someone enters into an agreement and there's only a marginal improvement but we actually don't know whether or not the employees are now better off because there's no metric other than the BOOT test against which we can actually test it? 'Marginal improvement', on that basis, means 'just slightly tipping over'.
