Mr. Speaker, I have met several times now with the Workers' Compensation Board and the chairman, and it has been brought to my attention that in the view of the board and the chairman, the act needs updating. One obvious issue that has been discussed in this House is the year's maximum insurable remuneration, YMIR, which I have asked for advice on from the board. Mr. Speaker, I am not sure what the Member means by internal review, but to answer his question, yes, I am working with the board and also on my own, looking at the act with a view to improving it, updating it, to cover the YMIR and other issues that have been brought to my attention. Thank you.
