Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not intervening here because I want to have the last word, but I was not able to be in the House when the report was first introduced. I would like to say that as Minister responsible for the WCB, I do find the report thoughtful and clear and I do believe that as we move into the process of legislative review, this report and the previous report will be very helpful in undertaking a definition of the issues which must be addressed in order to have a comprehensive and modernized Workers' Compensation Act.
I want to thank the committee for their good work. Since I have undertaken this assignment I have found that the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board does not actually have a department to support the Minister, so there is no staff who one can turn to for advice on how to do this job, given that the board operates quite independently. Perhaps in some cases too independently, as the committee has pointed out.
