Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister's caution on this. I have looked into the same point in raising these questions, and the information I have is the process has actually been concluded and is something that can be looked at in this House. So I would like to continue with my questions on this point.
Mr. Speaker, some of these appeals tribunal processes are now four years old. Workers continue to be stymied by this. While the WCB Act is not specific in allowing employment insurance earnings, and it gives the board, or the tribunal, the discretion to rule on these kinds of things, it certainly seems mean spirited and punitive to backdate its policy on this some 28 years. Why did the board take such a heavy-handed action in backdating this policy for this period of time? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
