Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and may I say that the board and myself are taking the extensive recommendations of the A.B.C. Committee seriously. As to the workers' advisor position, it was established as a permanent position as recommended by the committee from the ad hoc contractual arrangement that is now in place. It would require a legislative amendment to recognize that in the act, and that will come, but in the meantime, the position has been advertised. Arrangements have been made to house the position within the Department of Safety and Public Services, although I hasten to emphasize that it is independent, and the reporting relationship to the Minister responsible for the W.C.B. will not be affected by that physical arrangement. It is a matter of convenience, and providing support services and aspects such as improved security that are now not in place.
As to the selection of a permanent indeterminate workers' advisor, interviews are occurring this afternoon, I am told. So, we are close to making an appointment. Thank you.
