Mr. Speaker, an honourable Member of this Legislature recently described the recent increase in employers' assessments as totally unacceptable and said it was short-sighted to even contemplate such a decision which would so terribly tax the private sector. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board if he, taking into account this strong opinion from a respected Member of this House, is going to be taking action and exercising his ministerial authority to deal with these totally unacceptable rate increases of the W.C.B.? Will he be taking that action? Thank you.
