Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My colleague from Hay River South said that a strategy without money is a slogan and I say that a policy without resources to back it up. Would this be a statement on paper? I don't know. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated in my Member's statement, I think a policy change is a start, but nothing will be affected in terms of making a difference on these files and the workers that have been waiting for years and years to have their cases resolved, expending a lot of energy and money and time and their mental health, in many cases, and physical health, not to mention. None of that will make any difference for them unless there is a real concerted effort to put some resources behind it, force the WCB staff or encourage them or ask them to really go through all the files and see, in light of the new policy, what changes we can make. So could I ask the Minister whether he's done that or not and if he hasn't done that, why not, and would he be willing to do that as soon as possible? Thank you.
