Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, many times in this House I have raised the issue of the fair and equitable distribution of GNWT resources in terms of jobs, programs, services and the ability of this government to make decisions, where possible, to decentralize services so that the economic benefits would flow to communities in the regions. Mr. Speaker, the highly publicized issue of the suitability of the headquarters for the Workers' Compensation Board here in Yellowknife was in the news over the last year and, to my knowledge, has not been resolved. In terms of the question of the Minister's authority, or the Minister's role, I'd like to ask the Minister for WCB what ability he would have to bring to bear a change and possibility the decentralization of some functions or all functions of the headquarters of the Workers' Compensation Board to a community outside of Yellowknife? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
