Shared work is something which already existed in the past; it's nothing new. It is something which almost all members of Parliament have worked on at one moment or another by proposing formulas, with the purpose of helping employees and employers keep a business open for as long as possible. It is a good program which was adjusted over the course of the year, to the credit of all those who contributed. Therefore, we believe that the program should be extended. I am wondering whether, depending on the state of the economy, we could not take a second look at it. I have to say that it's a good program, which is why our party and the other opposition parties did not want to bring it up.
