Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is absolutely right that the WCB is allowed to make this kind of purchase. They have to seek Cabinet approval for the expenditures in that magnitude, but once they have that kind of approval, then they may proceed. The WCB Act sets out the limitations of the Minister's power and his responsibilities. If Members of this House agree with the Members of the House in Nunavut to change that, then we can change the responsibilities. As things stand now, the Minister is responsible for overseeing the administration of the act, and the WCB and Governance Council are responsible for the operations of the board itself. Thank you.
