but I do have a question for the minister. I do not support the amendments but I understand the concern of the opposition on the views of the employer. The government has said that that has already been squared off in other parts of the legislation. Can the minister give an unambiguous undertaking that in the review of the act that will occur in two years time this specific issue on how the views of employers are taken into account with respect to demarcation disputes will be specifically looked at and that it will be something that will be the subject of not only review but reporting, taking into account its operation with respect to this particular issue?
