Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Clearly the Workers' Compensation Board is carrying out its mandate according to its seemingly narrow priorities, with seemingly little consideration for the way its decisions are impacting workers and employers in the communities across the north. The average 12 per cent hike in assessment rates and failure of the board to bother developing a workable definition for hunters and trappers coverage are examples. It seems the Minister is reluctant to take the direct role in the management and decision-making of this agency. Will the Minister consider a process through which Members of this Assembly are more directly involved in providing guidance to the Workers' Compensation Board?
