Thank you, Madam Chair. If there is one real tangible result that can come from this, it is that those workers...Madam Chair, I know that the Auditor General considered about 40 files of injured workers and just about all of them had longstanding cases that they were trying to get resolved. If we can do one tangible thing, it would be to see some kind of mechanism whereby they may see some resolution and some closure to their claim or to their case.

Madam Chair, it is well understood here that not all workers are going to get everything they think should be coming to them. The WCB does have a very serious obligation to ensure that claims are legitimate and that workers get certainly what they deserve and not necessarily more. But, Madam Chair, in talking to a number of injured workers, their expectations were, of course, that something may result in their favour from the work of this committee and of the Auditor General of Canada. Of course, that was never the expectation, and we took some pains to make sure that workers understood that they were not going to see a direct resolution as a result of the Auditor General's investigation. But I would say, and this is the foundation of this motion, Madam Chair, that if there is a legacy that we could leave or start, it would be to find a mechanism whereby these longstanding chronic cases could see some resolution. That is the intent of this motion, Madam Chair.
