Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know it has been a long day for the Minister but I have one more question for the Minister Responsible for the Workers' Compensation. Mr. Speaker, recently the Workers' Compensation Board announced an increase in rates and it has been mentioned by several other Members today, the rates on an average of 12 per cent and up to 25 per cent in increases.
Last Friday, the board advertised a public forum to be held November 25 in Yellowknife which it says will provide an opportunity for all interested parties to discuss the setting of 1993 rates. Mr. Speaker, my question for the Minister is, given that the Workers' Compensation Board has announced all interested parties to discuss the setting of 1993 rates. Mr. Speaker, my question for the Minister is, given that the Workers' Compensation Board has announced that the 1993 employer assessment rates have already been set, can the Minister advise what the board hopes to achieve by staging this opportunity for the public to discuss rates which have already been set without any public participation?
