You'll see our ambition to be a fair work nation has been taken forward in a number of areas, not just in the social partnership and procurement Bill and what that will mean, but also in the work that we're leading on in this department in taking forward the economic contract. And the next stage will be really important about looking to further develop what we do and at the same time as saying, 'This is what we expect for businesses that have support from the Welsh Government', it will also then be about wanting to have good examples of where that already exists, because some of this is about showing it can be possible and it can be done and businesses can still turn a profit. And that's important because all the business groups that we talk with and work with are not hostile to this agenda; they want clarity in what is possible and what the expectations are, and they then think they can run successful businesses within the rules. So, I'm optimistic about their really positive engagement with us, and I think you'll see within this term more steps taken forward, so Wales really does become a fair work nation.
