Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses. We certainly appreciate your input on this important measure.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Milligan, since we're both British Columbians and proud to say that. I would like to go back to your example of a woman with a truck and some tools getting out there. I haven't been in construction, but I've been in the industry, where you start off as a sole proprietor. Then you find a partner. In British Columbia, it's six months, and you're considered common law.
Let's say your common-law partner has a condo. You are liable not just for what you do on the job, but also, you can be sued if you drop a hammer on someone, and suddenly your partner's assets come into play. That's something that employees don't have to consider. Is that correct?
