We also heard from the officials that the number of refusals we're seeing across the country has dropped in recent years by up to 22%. So obviously the work the officials are doing as they travel and investigate workplaces—the health and safety officers—in part or working with a more educated workforce and a more educated employer force, is leading to fewer and fewer refusals to work. Would you accept that? Looking at the data, that seems to be the case.
