We were previously talking about the carve-out of civil construction for multi-employer bargaining. You have indicated that you were aware that the mining and resources industry had provided representations to the government in relation to being carved out, you weren't aware if representations had been made by the manufacturing industry and you'd come back to me in relation to other industries.

Again, as discussed with Senator Watt last night, the rationale for the carve-out of civil construction from multi-employer bargaining was the high proportion, percentage or number of single-enterprise agreements in the sector. Could I therefore ask that you bring back to the chamber the number of single-enterprise agreements in the construction, mining and resources, and manufacturing sectors so we can do that comparison to civil construction?
