Thank you, Madam Chairperson. There was a recommendation to allow lawsuits in the case of general liability insurance. It was my feeling and the seconder of the original motion that this was not in keeping with the general intent of Workers' Compensation. In fact, we were the only jurisdiction in Canada that actually allowed this. We would continue to be the only jurisdiction if we continued to allow it. While we did move on other recommendations, we did not incorporate this particular recommendation into the amendment. Thank you.
