Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to oral question asked by Mr. Braden on October 21, 2005, regarding employment insurance as income. Mr. Braden asked why the Workers' Compensation Board has not accepted multiple rulings from the Appeals Tribunal regarding employment insurance in pensionable earning calculations.
Mr. Speaker, currently, the Workers' Compensation Act allows for the Governance Council to disagree with the rulings of the Appeals Tribunal and to ask the tribunal to reconsider its decision. Under the WCB Act, the Appeals Tribunal is required to consider policy when making decisions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
