Mr. Speaker, I am surprised that the honourable Member would question why people working on an aspect of the operations of the Workers' Compensation Board that came under great scrutiny and criticism in this House in the last session and previous session-- I am surprised that the honourable Member would question why people working on that review would not want to receive advice from this House that has undertaken a fairly extensive review of the WCB, including that issue. Let me make it clear, Mr. Speaker, the review is not paralysed while they area waiting the ABC committee report. It is ongoing, but they are going to take into account the advice of the ABC committee, if any, on that issue before they conclude their work. I do not think that is an unreasonable approach for them to be taking with regard to any committee of this Assembly.
