Perseverance is a virtue, Mr. Speaker. My question, again, is for the Minister of the W.C.B. Mr. Speaker, I have to wonder just how committed the Minister and his board are to safety education and awareness that is meaningful to all people who live in the Northwest Territories.

His colleague, the Minister of Safety and Public Services, undertook an initiative to make sure the people working as traditional carvers are made aware of the danger surrounding silt dust, pardon me, soap stone dust. Mr. Whitford and his department should be commended for this.

The W.C.B. apparently contributed to the original development of these materials but now that the materials are about to run out, their contribution has dried up. Can the Minister indicate why if the Workers' Compensation Board, which is supposed to be so committed to the concept of workplace safety education, has the board failed to cooperate with Safety and Public Services to provide funding to resupply this important safety initiative for traditional carvers?
