I thank the witnesses for coming in. In their wrap-up, could they illustrate how secretaries and caretakers struggle to access basic things like mortgages and health insurance? While everyone has financial constraints, their colleague down the corridor at least has the knowledge that they have a pay cheque coming in every fortnight. Could the witnesses illustrate some of the constraints and tight situations their colleagues are facing?
