Thanks so much Kathryn
She is not set up with anything as she just came on board with this
acquisition and all we offered her was a contract which she knows nothing
about. I need to help two of them who were offered contracts on what they
should do -- so you're saying they need to set themselves up as self
employed with the Canada employment Insurance commission. Do you think I
should advise her first call is to Service Canada?
Joseph is the other contract person so he also needs to set himself up.
