Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chairman, I was trying to ascertain from the Minister, or the Premier, or whoever is sitting in that seat today, basically, how is the CPI or other factors, what part do they play in the actual YMIR increase. So we note that the increase from 1996 is $49,000 to $52,000 and the president of the WCB has indicated that indeed CPI does play a factor, but it also is one factor in many. I am asking what the Consumer Price Index, the inflationary factors, what part of that $3,000 increase would he consider to be the amount?
