Madam Speaker, I will have a better idea in four or five months. I know what Mr. Whitford is referring to. Those people who are self-employed, draw by way of dividends, shareholders loans, et cetera, and they are not paying the payroll tax because they are not on the payroll. I regret to inform him that, to date, I have not been able to devise a way through the payroll tax whereby we could net those people. So if we are going to do anything, Madam Speaker, it is going to have to be done by another means. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
