Mr. Chairman, again, this was brought up in the report of the Standing Committee on Finance. There is a concern among Members because the Workers' Compensation Board has indicated that in a number of areas in particular, like construction and mining, there are real safety problems. This, I believe, is the activity, under which occupational health is and this is where we would find, I believe, the inspectors for construction sites. Because I sit on the Standing Committee on Finance, I know that the PYs and the funding for this has dropped in the last couple of years rather than increased. If, indeed, we have a problem with safety and safety inspections in the Northwest Territories, why are we not trying to do something about it?
