Thank you. Just for the record, on this motion too, I think the response from WCB is completely inadequate. Mr. Braden pointed out the fact that the proposal under that legislation has met the approval of WCB and Appeals Tribunal and, in principle, by NWT Medical Association. There's no mention of workers. The Minister speaks to other opinions being answered to, but in our hearings we heard of cases where an injured worker have had up to -- and the worker's advisor told us this -- there are injury cases where they have had up to eight specialists who have given an opinion and that was overruled by the WCB. I don't know where the workers are supposed to go to get justice under WCB. So I just want to put it on record that I will be scrutinizing that section of that legislation and I would expect that to be an adequate proposal. Thank you.
