Mr. Speaker, my questions this afternoon are for the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. In December of 2001, more than two years ago now, the panel that was sent out to look at legislative changes came back with a recommendation to conduct an independent review of WCB operations. In making that recommendation, it went on to say it should be done with a view to recommending system-wide change in structure, process and attitudes. The panel believes such an operational review is of utmost importance and should be conducted immediately, prior even to the enactment of any legislative changes arising from the report. So it seems that we've already jumped the gun perhaps by adopting this report and not proceeding on an operational review. My question, Mr. Speaker, is what plans does the Minister have for working with his Nunavut counterpart to engage in an independent review of WCB operations. Thank you.
