Mr. Speaker, the Minister yesterday advised that in relation to Mr. Valic's long and valiant struggle to get to the court-ordered appeal, newly constituted Appeal Tribunal, that "the WCB has not applied to take an adversarial point of view at all in the Appeals Tribunal hearing." I'm quoting from unedited Hansard of yesterday. Mr. Speaker, I understand that the board has indeed applied for standing at Mr. Valic's tribunal. I wanted to ask the Minister, if indeed he said yesterday that the WCB has not applied to take an adversarial point of view, why has it applied for standing in Mr. Valic's Appeal Tribunal, which I understand, Mr. Speaker, is a very unusual move for the board to take at Appeal Tribunal level?
