Mr. Speaker, no they will not. Mr. Speaker, the penalty assessment and corresponding merit rebate programs, which are allowed in the present Workers' Compensation Act, which I as Minister have encouraged the board to implement, and which have been recommended by other reviews of the W.C.B., are unfortunately not yet in place. Today, I cannot tell the honourable Member that the penalty assessment scheme described before the A.B.C. Committee will be put in place for the coming year. I hope that situation will change, Mr. Speaker, but as of today such a scheme has not been approved by the Workers' Compensation Board. Thank you.
