Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's my understanding --and I qualify that by saying I stand to be corrected --that those who are designated as essential services and go to work have to contribute to the strike fund 30 or 35 per cent of their wages. This is under the rules, policies and procedures, et cetera; it is negotiated. Those who are working would get their paycheque but they would have to contribute to the UNW strike fund 30 or 35 per cent. I believe that is how the rules of the policy exist.
The other point I believe that was addressed, and has been addressed on a number of occasions, can people then apply for income support; welfare. The answer is no.
