Default Running a business while on mat leave

Hi guys,

I have a question about maternity leave and running a business while on leave. I know that if you have a business and draw a salary or declare a dividend it will reduce your EI. However, what if you have a company (say a consulting company) and your incorporated company keeps all its earnings and you don't draw salary or dividends until EI is over (or the following tax year). My wife has some great clients and wants to keep them while on Mat leave.

Any advice or resources are gratefully appreciated.
