In that case, would you have a view or would you be able to give us some insight into why the department's responses were so general and differential to the commission instead of providing clarity to stakeholders? Why can't the department just tell us what is going to happen here or what the general set of rules are? Why doesn't it just say: 'No. Absolutely not. We're not going to base this on a hypothetical, random scenario of some worker that might just work Sundays or a worker that might just work on public holidays'? Why not provide that clarity?
