Thank you. The Minister is using the old policy right now. I would like to the ask the Minister, he should be fully aware that the policy for defining who is "principally engaged" and hunting and trapping has been criticized by traditional harvesters across the Northwest Territories. That was criticized by the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and Commissions. Even the Workers' Compensation Board's own appeal committee has ruled that the policy is contrary to the spirit of the legislation. Recognizing those facts, can the Minister explain how he can possibly justify the continued use of this policy by the Workers' Compensation Board?
