I thank Ms McElwee.

I appreciate the concerns that were raised by ICTU about sick leave needing to be certified. As has been outlined and as far as I am aware, the most common protocol in the private sector is that sick leave must be certified if it extends beyond two days. Would ICTU like to see limited periods of self-certified sick leave being included in the Bill? Am I correct in that?
