Thank you, Madam Chair. This motion speaks to issues, longstanding issues I think with the general sort of service orientation and attitude and approach toward being an accessible and an open organization. Madam Chair, I know that going into WCB offices here in Yellowknife has some very stringent security requirements regarding access. I have tried to work with and assist workers who have had issues with the WCB, and I know that one worker in particular was denied and just total outright flat denied access to the office even though he was in the company of my constituency assistant. I think there are extremes, Madam Chair, of accessibility and openness that need to be addressed and that is the intent of this motion, to try and steer WCB into becoming more of a service organization that we cannot only have confidence in, but know that we have a reasonable degree of access to it. Thank you, Madam Chair.
