Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to talk about the Workers' Compensation Board. The NWT is the only jurisdiction where the Workers' Compensation Board can sue on behalf of a third party. That is not possible in any of the other provinces, to my understanding. For example, in Igloolik recently, the Workers' Compensation Board investigated a construction accident under the NWT Safety Act and then laid a complaint to courts under the same act. Subsequently, the company was fined $60,000. Employers pay the Workers' Compensation Board dues on behalf of the workers, but if a company is hit with a third party liability, then that company is going to start buying third party liability insurance, and the costs will be passed on to the general public in the Northwest Territories. In other words, costs will escalate for construction and so forth, but for the company and its employees, it is a game of double jeopardy, Mr. Speaker. On the one hand, they help pay the assessments, but in the event of an accident, the company and its individuals will, in all likelihood, have to be superassessed for several years to recover the money that was paid out. Also now, Workers' Compensation Board turns around and sues the same company or individuals as a third party. In other words, the company and individuals are penalized both ways. I understand also, Mr. Speaker, that in the event that there are dollars recovered, it goes into the general fund of the Workers' Compensation Board and not to the individuals. Mr. Speaker, I have to leave the House for a period of time, but if I return in time during item 7, written questions, I will be presenting written questions on this matter. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
