Mr. Speaker, a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Koe on March 9th with respect to WCB rates.

This matter was referred to the board of directors for consideration at their March board meeting.

Employers are classified by the type of industry and the classification is intended to reflect the total activities and output of the particular industry.

Administrative support services form an integral segment of each industrial classification. The GNWT -- subclass 81 -- is a good example of how diverse an employer's operations can be: for example, we have clerks, heavy equipment operators, inspectors, et cetera.

The board's classification methodology conforms with all other WCB's across Canada, and there is no basis for the board to consider changing this methodology at this time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
