Thank you, Madam Speaker. Good question. Prior to the Workers' Compensation Board recruiting their own legal employee, all the legal aspects of WCB was contracted out. It was a simple exercise, a cost saving, and they were able to demonstrate to me in their corporate plan that there would be significant savings based upon having in-house legal counsel, rather than purchasing services outside of the board. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
