Charles Dent Yellowknife Frame Lake

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have three written questions to the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board.

1. According to the WCB 1993 annual report, "prior years' claims" are down from $15.7 million in 1992 to $47.2 million in 1993. Is it correct that "prior years' claims" means monies paid in 1993 to those injured before 1993?

2. What proportion of people receiving payments under "prior years' claims" are permanently disabled?

3. How does the Minister explain the decrease in the amount paid under "prior years' claims" from 1992 to 1993?

Thank you, Madam Speaker.
