Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I certainly hope that we don't see these businesses go down. I enjoy being able to access the services and products that they provide as much as anybody else. Mr. Speaker, just as insurance on a car is a cost of doing business, so is insurance for your employees. I've probably put $60,000 or $70,000 more into the pockets of insurance companies than I've ever claimed back for my car and I think that we're going to have to recognize that there are costs to doing business. I'd be happy to, as I said, direct the governance council to consider this. I think all of the stakeholders have to be involved in considering an approach that the Member is suggesting, because it is a zero sum game. It takes X number of dollars to operate the WCB and look after the injured workers and so if one group is paying less, another group has to pay more. So I would be happy to ensure that this issue is considered, but I think we're going to have to involve more of the stakeholders. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
