Mr. Speaker, as I understand the work that is being done, the criteria for measuring injury will be the same as is applied to any other accident in any other work place. There will be no special definitions of injury, and disability, for hunters. They will be treated the same as any other person that comes to the W.C.B. for coverage.

Secondly, the board is working on a definition of hunter, which is done locally at the community level, and not be some distant claims adjudicator or other remote person.

Thirdly, the committee working on this issue has agreed that it will be necessary to expand the coverage criteria, to make it easier for more hunters to be covered, than were covered under the previous policy.

Having said all that, the setting of an appropriate income level for determining awards for injured persons may well have to be adjusted for hunters, and may well have to be special for hunters, as compared to other workers.

That is what I can tell the Member about the directions that are being taken. I am told that the work is close to being concluded, within weeks. Thank you.
