Well, I thank Gareth for that point, and I'm glad that he actually raised it because we already have examples of services that run seven days a week, which use things called rotas—restaurants, for example. The restaurant that I worked in, Jamie's Italian, was open seven days a week, but I wasn't working seven days. I was rota-ed on to work certain days. So, I hope that would address the issue that Gareth raises there.

To close, Llywydd, a four-day working week is one way to tackle the issues that we face. It's one way to futureproof our economy and provide a better work-life balance for the people of Wales. Diolch yn fawr.
