Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have three returns. First a reply to Mr. Gargan to a question asked March 9, 1992. The Workers' Compensation Board follows the same criteria as the GNWT with regard to affirmative action consideration under the priority classification of resident disabled persons. All of the board's employment advertising states that it is an affirmative action employer.
In the past, three disabled persons have been employed at the board, one of whom had been injured in an industrial accident. During the last six months, the board knows of only one disabled person who applied on a competition. Currently there is an injured worker being sponsored through the rehabilitation division on a work experience program of 12 weeks' duration within the board's safety education division. This is providing on-the-job training to augment this individual's safety career program training from the Alberta Safety Institute.
