This tribunal was really set up with one purpose only, and that was to drive small business owner-operators out of business. It was to drive them out of business, tens of thousands of them out of business, and we saw that with the very first payment order. The first payment order declared that owner-operators would have to be paid a certain amount. It did not apply to anybody else in the industry, only to owner-drivers. The implications are very severe.
