§ Mr. Prentice:The report has been studied in the Department and I shall be writing to the Multiple Sclerosis Society about it. I shall be pointing out that the therapeutic earnings limit is to be raised this November but that if it were to be increased disproportionately the principle under which invalidity benefit is paid would be undermined.
