Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regards to the preamble and the intent of the legislation, I think the Member is correct. I mean when we have the insurance system that we do have and basically it is a no-fault insurance and you try to err on the caution by way of trying to assist workers so we don't find ourselves in the predicament of having to go to court every time we want to settle a case. I think in regards to the preamble, it has been implemented and the change in regards to the statement is, hopefully, going to be consistent all the way through. I think with the changes that we are making, it is an improvement. I think by improving that, we are improving the system for injured workers to make it clearer and more precise to how we're trying to resolve their cases. I think this is an improvement and it does fall in line with the preamble in the general statement that is in the front of the bill.
