Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, throughout the review and the hearings, many, many areas and concerns relate to the Workers' Compensation Act. The act was developed in 1977, and as per my statements in my report, a lot of events have happened that change how business is done and how work is done -- the Safety Act and these types of things -- if the act is not kept up and has not been amended. The committee and members of the public who made presentations felt that there is an urgent need for a comprehensive review of the act. The process that we are recommending in the motion, a legislative action paper, is one method of getting the maximum public input that I think will be required in developing new legislation. There will be ample opportunity for the standing committees and the public to have input into the process. This is why we are making the motion and why the motion reads "a legislative action paper." Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
