Mr. Speaker, since last May there have been a number of difficult events occurring with the Workers' Compensation Board. A general manager was released and has left the board. The board was struggling with the difficult matter of rate increases which some honourable Members have referred to earlier. As a result, Mr. Speaker, the board was preoccupied with those issues following the tabling of the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and

Commissions' report. The bottom line, Mr. Speaker, is notwithstanding those demands, I have recently met with the new Chair of the Workers' Compensation Board -- that was another thing that happened, the Chair was replaced -- I have been assured that the board has made some funds available for the legislative review. They are under a very tight financial situation and they had to look hard to identify some funds in this very difficult year but I have been assured, just recently, that some funds will be made available for this legislative review. Thank you.
