Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be to the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board, the Honourable John Todd. In this House yesterday, the Minister stated in a response to a question asked by Mr. Ootes, "I want to say, in all fairness to my colleague, that I am moving forward on this important initiative, and I intend, unless there is some major reason not to, to proceed with the transfer." My question to the Minister is: Would the Minister consider elected leaders of the NWT Federation of Labour, the Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce the NWT Construction Association, the NWT Chamber of Mines, NWT Steelworkers Area Council, NWT Chamber of Commerce, the Union of Northern Workers, NWT Association of Municipalities and CAW Local 2304 requesting formal input and information into restructuring of an organization which, at the end of the day, belongs to the employers and employees of the NWT, to be a major reason for the Minister to set a formal committee that could receive input into this proposed transfer?
