Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess as a Legislative Assembly we could have a discussion about the policy and whether or not we think that the no-fault insurance way in which the WCB has operated is the way that we want to do it. We could get rid of the WCB, bring in private insurance like they do in the States, and allow all sorts of litigation in order to see whether or not people get compensation. I think the system that we have, Mr. Speaker, is one that works well. There are some people who don't feel that they've been satisfied and we have, with Valic's situation, a case where the courts have directed that an applicant be heard again. That will happen, Mr. Speaker. But by and large the system works as it should and it is delivering a very good service to the people that it serves. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
