Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I did have a number of conversations with the Government Operations Committee on this issue, and as my honourable colleague did indicate, Mr. Erasmus and Mr. Henry, have been discussing this at some length with me. I suppose there is no difficulty in bringing forward a minor amendment if we thought that was an appropriate course of action. I did indicate to Mr. Henry earlier last week and to Mr. Erasmus privately, that I would discuss this matter with the new chairperson, Ms. Joanne Deneron, later next week. I am not saying we cannot do that. In an ideal world, I would have liked to have seen a comprehensive change to the legislation in the Workers' Compensation Board which has not taken place for years. All the work, in fact, was done as I indicated in the return to oral questions, in 1993, 1994, 1995. I would ask my colleague to give me the opportunity to discuss the matter with the chairperson, Ms. Joanne Deneron, and I will certainly keep her appraised, as I would Mr. Erasmus and Mr. Henry, on the issue. Thank you.
