It's my understanding, also, that the claim rate of sickness and compassionate care benefits in the mandatory system for employees is somewhere around one in fifty. You can tell me whether you agree with that or challenge that. It means that in that typical year, one out of every fifty contributors makes a sickness or compassionate claim. According to HRSDC, on this one, the costs and premiums associated with the bill here are assuming a one-in-ten claim rate for sickness and compassionate care benefits. Is that your assumption so far?
