My question is for the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. Mr. Speaker, on November 23 my colleague for High Arctic had asked the former Minister a question about the Workers' Compensation Board's decision to change procedures for retaining legal counsel. In previous years, the board had a contract with a single law firm in Yellowknife. During the public hearings last fall, however, it was revealed that this year the board contracted with three law firms to meet the same legal requirements. The former Minister agreed to take the responsibility for seeing that a review would be carried out since this does not seem to be the most efficient and economical approach to meet the board's needs. I would like to ask if the current Minister will agree to review this matter fully before he approves the 1993-94 corporate plan for the Workers' Compensation Board? Thank you.
