Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions this afternoon are in follow-up to my statement. I would direct them to the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. It is a well-known fact, Mr. Speaker, that the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, under a joint board, have enjoyed among the lowest assessment rates in Canada, but what is alarming is the rate of increase. From four years ago to now, we are looking at rates that are going from a $1 to about $2.40. It is this rate of increase, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to address. My question to the Minister is what are the principle drivers behind WCB assessment rates rising almost two-and-a-half times in just four years? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
