You can't do both at the same time, but when one finishes you could be compelled into the alternative, if that happened to be the case? I just want to confirm that, because this has been raised by a number of people. We are saying that we have an employer eligible for both the supported bargaining stream and the single-interest stream. We acknowledge they can be compelled into either. You are saying though that you absolutely cannot be compelled to bargain in the supported bargaining steam and in the single interest stream at the same time. As I said, this has been asked by so many employers and it would give them comfort to know that that is the case. I want to know, are we formally ruling it out?
