Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. When the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and Commissions reviewed the appeals process within W.C.B., it noted that the former practice of referring claimant files for review by the manager of claims service had been discontinued. The standing committee felt that reinstating this procedure would avoid some of the cumbersome, intimidating and adversarial interaction that seemed to characterize the appeals process. The workers' advisor for W.C.B. had also recommended reinstating the earlier process in the policy. Can the Minister inform the House whether this recommendation had been complied with?
