Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
No. What I mean is that, over time, employment legislation has required that the basic pay of a person employed through an agency versus an individual who is directly employed has to be the same. As I understand, they are not also eligible for annual leave entitlements but I am not sure of the situation in regard to sick leave. Progressively, the difference between agency employed staff and directly employed staff is being narrowed but it has not been narrowed completely.
