Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. It is in relation to his statement on the surviving spouse benefits. Is the Minister aware that the Human Rights Commission in Alberta recently indicated that it may be unconstitutional to provide more benefits to people if they are a widow or widower in relation to other people who are not married and still have children to raise. Is he aware of that recent decision that came down about two weeks ago?
