I just want to explore that. I thought my question was quite obvious. I just want to confirm this with you. We have the explanatory memorandum. It makes reference to certain industries that we've referred to. We've then established—and we're going to pursue it shortly—that the minister is able to make a declaration for another industry to be eligible to participate in the supported bargaining stream. All I'm asking is: is that the only avenue under which you can be declared eligible to participate—that is, via a ministerial declaration—or is there another avenue? We've talked about aged care, disability care and early childhood education and care. Is there another avenue through which you actually can participate in the supported bargaining stream?
