Mr. Pudluk had raised this issue in the House earlier regarding me not meeting with the mining people. That was an unfortunate communication problem. I want to assure the honourable Member that the mining industry and particularly the Nanisivik and Polaris group are currently in contact with the chairman. I believe meetings are scheduled for next month. The principle concern of the mining industry, and it is understandable, was the rates and the costs associated with it. We are trying to address that issue by looking at some of the options which have been laid out in the Workers' Compensation Board legislative review document. I want to assure the honourable Member that the board is communicating with the mining industry, and I will be meeting with the chamber of mines soon myself. Thank you.
