Thank you for the question, Mr. Chair.
There is a legal test for whether or not a contractor is an employer or an employee. There are four parts to that test, I believe, in Canada. It speaks to such elements as the use of tools, risk of opportunity, risk of loss and a few other considerations. I'm not a lawyer, so I don't want to expand on that too heavily, but there is a framework under which we can determine whether or not there is a risk of an employer-employee relationship.
Part of the training that procurement professionals receive is to help them identify what those criteria are to make sure they're mitigating them in their contracts. As I mentioned, in our policy we do have a requirement that the business owners or the individuals across government engaged in hiring outside resources are aware of these risks and are taking steps to manage them.
