Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are to Mr. Dent and it's following up on my Member's statement. Mr. Speaker, we have a situation here where businesses like Tim Horton's, McDonald's, Quizno's, Pizza Hut and all those businesses that are in Yellowknife have seen the increase of WCB rates at maximum levels for four years in a row. That's more than double over four years. I have, in front of me, assessment rates for the last three years for all the other categories that WCB has, and no one has seen that kind of increase four years in a row. They have been doing everything they can to get the attention of the WCB Governance Council and the Minister. They have held meetings; they've had briefings; they've done everything they can to have them re-look at what can be done to improve this. I understand they're meeting as we speak and I am not at all confident that we are going to be able to achieve any resolution or any positive feedback or as the Minister can tell here today otherwise. So I'd like to know what steps he's prepared to take to work with the governance council and see if there could be any reprieve for this group, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
