Mr. Speaker, at no point in time in my questioning did I talk about claims or whatever. I basically indicated the act now states that the WCB board has exclusive jurisdiction. The Minister, in technicality and legally, does not have any say over the board's development of policies or decisions, and the Minister indicated to this House that he basically can do this by talking to the board or influencing the board. I am asking him whether or not he is going to consider amendments to the act where that board can be run under the direction of a Minister, and not by influencing. Can the Minister advise this House whether he is considering that?
