On the labour side, we held two rounds of consultations in the spring and summer of 2026, and the participants were very broad. There were associations from the employers' perspective, union and employee representatives, indigenous partners and members of the tripartite advisory council for labour policy. That, by the way, is a new council that Secretary Zerucelli and I have set up, so that labour and employers can interact on a regular basis, together with the minister and secretary of state, so that we get a better relationship and have more frank conversations. I think the tripartite council was incredibly helpful, particularly in giving us, for example, the advice about making sure that the new measures don't impact already successful relationships and don't interfere with a process that was largely working for the majority of relationships.
We had 319 open written submissions. We held a number of targeted round tables, including with national unions, which were organized at their request, and we also had a minister's round table with both me and Secretary Zerucelli. We had engagement with more than 100 stakeholder organizations.
The second round of consultations was really focused on some of the key messages and themes we heard in round one. We went back, not with the same questions, but to do a deeper dive into some of those areas that people were talking about.
