Claims · 32 wordsThat is the beauty of the minister having the ability to make a temporary exemption, to implement a change, and then, if there is a problem with it, to remove that exemption.³ Reasoning · 28 wordsI think that allows us to, in real time, be able to improve, become more competitive and, at the same time, walk it back if it looks problematic.Vague promise
