Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Koe on February 24, 1995 regarding changes in WCB coverage for hunters and trappers.

Section 10 of the Workers' Compensation Act allows for a person who is a resident of the NWT, who holds a general hunting licence, and is an independent operator principally engaged in hunting, fishing or trapping for a livelihood, to be covered to their year's maximum insurable remuneration, YMIR, of $24,000. There is no cost for this coverage.

If a hunter/trapper is not covered under section 10 of the Workers' Compensation Act, or if he/she wishes to insure himself/herself in an amount greater than the $24,000, the coverage can be obtained at a rate of $2.50 per hundred dollars. Thank you.
