Thank you, Senator Polley. Now, I don't know about you, Senator Polley, but I find it pretty appalling that while you were talking about loopholes that are leading to workers losing pay we had Senator Ruston, Senator Cash and a number of others over there laughing about that.

I don't think it's a laughing matter that workers get ripped off through loopholes left in your legislation. I don't think that's very funny. I think that's a serious matter, and I think it's something that should be rectified. So, perhaps you'd like to reconsider your position on that.
