asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the terms of service for the clerical staff of the Milk Marketing Board provide for deductions from wages of amounts equal to health insurance sickness benefits; and, as the employés concerned pay contributions for these benefits, will he take steps to stop this practice?

I have no information as to the terms of service of the staff of the Milk Marketing Board. This is not a matter in which I have any power to intervene.
