Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister Responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. Mr. Speaker, when the Standing Committee on Agency, Boards and Commissions carried out its review of the Workers' Compensation Board, it became very clear that there is a need for better regional presence. One of the recommendations was to make better use of the workers' advisor position as a means of informing and communicating with communities about the ways of the workers' compensation system.
Since inception of the position, however, there appears to have been resistance at the board level to having the advisor work with any communities other than Yellowknife. The Minister was supposed to be carrying out the review of the workers' advisor position and make any appropriate changes.
Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, can the Minister advise the House whether, in his review of the advisor's role, he has addressed using the position to make communities better informed about the Workers' Compensation in the Northwest Territories?
