Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Workplace safety is obviously paramount and the WCB makes many efforts to ensure that safety training is offered and provided and carried out where employers are concerned, and that we do our utmost to conduct safety inspections at worksites. I think the most important thing here to remember is that we need to keep the incidents of workplace injuries to an absolute minimum, and the WCB is striving to do that. I think it is also important to keep in mind that I would acknowledge that this is a competitive advantage. At one point, I believe we had the lowest assessment rates in the country and I still believe that we are one of the lowest, certainly in the top five. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
