One final comment with regard to compensation of injured workers. There is a person in my constituency who received compensation based on his earnings at the time of the accident, not based on what he could have earned that year had he worked all year. What happened was the individual was injured about three months into the job, so he received compensation on the amount he earned up until that time. So, he is caught in a very awkward situation where he receives about $300 every two weeks from WCB, and in one year he receives about $7,000.
