Mr. Speaker, I wish that I had the power to allow the rates to be approved or not approved, as the Member may know that power for better or for worse lies exclusively with the Workers' Compensation Board. I can assure the House, Mr. Speaker, that I have been involved to the extent possible through the Chairperson of the board in scrutinizing and ensuring the maximum possible scrutiny of the process used to set the 1993 rates. I have been involved as actively as possible in ensuring that the rates are as low as possible given the accident frequency and severity in the Northwest Territories in recent years. Thank you.
