Minister, I acknowledge your comments around setting parameters for the Fair Work Commission and I acknowledge you have said that previously, but the drafting doesn't set a parameter; the drafting says the Fair Work Commission 'must ensure' rather than 'may ensure'. Could you explain to me how that is setting a parameter? That is, in my view, defining an outcome.
