Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. The overall costs of Workers' Compensation has spun out of control, partially because of the additional expenditures now being made in the area of rehabilitation. In the W.C.B.'s 1991 Annual Report, the rehabilitation unit spent $2,517,490 and serviced 337 cases of which only 34 per cent were listed as resolved cases. That is roughly $21,702 per resolved case. Is the Minister willing to accept that northern businesses are carrying the load for inefficiencies within the Workers' Compensation Board, rehabilitation section?
