Case Study: Serene is a motivational speaker. Serene signed up with BH Mansions Ltd. (BH), a talent agency which matches motivational speakers with companies who need speakers for events . When a company contacts BH, they tell them the type of speaker they need. BH finds the best speaker on their list to match what the company is looking for. They then call the person on the list and they have the choice of taking the job or not. If the speaker says they want to do the job, BH pays them a flat amount for the work they do based on the time the speech will take. No payroll deductions such as CPP and El are taken from the payment. Serene would arrange her own limo to the job. Of course the company who needs the speaker says when they need the speech and what they want the topic of the speech. It is Serene's responsibility to write her speech and keep it current. She may need to take courses at Ryerson to know what people are lecturing about and motivating people. She also has other companies she speaks for, and she sometimes debates (for money) with Gabby for spectators. She teaches Susie every Monday for an hourly fee on how to be a motivational speaker.

Question: Please discuss if Serene's income from BH Mansions Ltd. is employment or business income, meaning is she an employee or self employed. This is for 5 points, so please give your reason and not a one or two word answer.
