Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Isn’t it the case that there is nothing to stop employers from forcing foreign temporary workers to work unreasonable hours at less than the minimum hourly wage? Does the minister believe that such employers are in breach of the government’s workplace laws? If they are, can the minister also indicate whether she plans to do anything to close this outrageous loophole and when?
