Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. Welcome back, Dennis.
On a previous occasion, I have commented in this House about the policy that has been established by the Workers' Compensation Board to define who is, and who is not, a hunter for the purposes of section 10-1 of the Act. On June 23, I reminded the Minister that this policy had been ruled as contrary to the spirit of the legislation by the board's own appeal committee. The Minister assured me that he would have a new policy in place by the end of this summer. He also took my supplementary as notice when I asked him what the board was using in place of the policy.
Since the Minister, and the board, have had the summer to work over the new policy, could I ask the Minister today, what action he has taken to replace the previous definition of who is principally engaged as a traditional hunter, trapper or fisherman?
