Mahsi, Madam Speaker. In June 1992, the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and Commissions tabled their final report on the Workers' Compensation Board. Many of the recommendations in that report called for amendments to the Workers' Compensation Act and for a legislative action paper to bring forward proposed amendments. The legislative action paper was tabled in April 1993 and the Standing Committee on Legislation reported on the legislative action paper in November 1993.
Legislation passed in March 1994 covered some of the standing committee's recommendations relating to coverage for aboriginal harvesters. But the overwhelming majority of the legislative recommendations made by the standing committees have not yet been addressed by legislative proposals. My question is to the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. Can the Minister tell the House when he expects legislation to be drafted to address the recommendations of the standing committees?
