Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, income support payments are not considered wages. Therefore, there would not be any Workers' Compensation Board premiums due on them. People who are participating in Investing In People may receive a training allowance that is paid directly by the income support program, but if they are also receiving payments from the employer, then the employer would owe Workers' Compensation Board premiums on those payments.
