I have not been the lead on that particular part of the file. I would say that in discussions with provinces and territories, it was clear that some provinces more than others were really advocating for this 10-day paid sick leave provision. Everyone agreed that we did not want workers going to work if they felt sick. That would put people in a position wherein trying to contain this would be very difficult. Everyone agreed with the principle that if someone felt sick, we wanted them to have the opportunity to stay home.
That was part of the $19-billion transfer that we would make to the provinces and territories. With respect to the actual terms, I believe it was the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance who was the lead on that, together with Minister Qualtrough.
Specifically, we agreed in principle with the idea and wanted to support workers and give them the ability to stay home. We didn't want them to have to think that if they did stay home, they wouldn't be able to pay their bills or put food on the table.
