Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I hope I understood the honourable Member's question clearly. The ceiling matters, which we referred to the yearly maximum insurable enumeration, is the maximum benefit on which people that are injured at work can be paid. All compensation is based on actual wage loss that occurs subject to this ceiling, so consequently, any worker in any industry, if their earnings are $10,000 a year, and they are injured, their compensation is based on that $10,000 a year. If it is $40,000 a year, it is based on the $40,000 a year. If it is $55,000 a year, it is based on the $47,500 because that is the ceiling and maximum benefit that could be payable. There should be a minimum compensation payable to all workers, possibly, that would address the problem being encountered. Thank you.
