I would have to get back to the Member with further detail on the range of injuries and how they are treated by the pensions. I would make one point though that there are no taxpayer dollars, per se, going into these pensions. They are collected from employers. Recently, January 1, 2004, the governance council of the WCB did approve an increase of 3.35 percent for all pensions, helping keep the pensions in line with the cost of living. Thank you.
