On this point, I would emphasize that the labour market opinion is free of charge to the employers. I think that's a problem because—correct me if I'm wrong—about 60% of the LMOs that are issued are not used. Guess what? When you offer people free stuff, they take a lot of it. If we put some kind of a modest user fee on the LMO, I know that employers would be happy to pay it. They're keen to bring these people in, right? If we could put a modest user fee on the LMO, we would reduce the number of merely speculative applications that they don't really need; that would reduce the volumes, and we would increase revenues that could be used to improve service.
