Yes, we absolutely do. There are many businesses that draw dividends from their firms and not a salary and, therefore, their personal income will not be covered by the wage subsidy, whereas if they paid themselves a wage, it would be covered. Therefore, I think there should be the ability for business owners and family members in the business to convert that on a similar basis—not having them, as Kim was saying, just decide to pay themselves a million-dollar salary and have that covered, but, within the confines of the program, allowing them to convert to a salary what they might have taken in dividends during this period, so that the business owner has some income for himself or herself.
