Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for the WCB and it is in regard to my statement and the Workers' Compensation Board policy on lump sum payments. I am posing this question to the Minister who is also a board member, I understand, on the WCB and an entrepreneur of some repute in the east. Would the Minister comment on the intent of this particular policy especially in relation to the fact that if an injured worker is entitled to money for an injury, would it not be in the corporation's or compensation board's best interest, to give them that lump sum payment, thus limiting their liability?
