Mr. Speaker, yes, that was a general question rather than specific to this advice. I am not aware that my constituent has been advised as per the Minister’s question there. I want to preface my next question, Mr. Speaker, by saying that on the many occasions with this file I have had to contact the Minister I have received some assistance. It is just my point is I shouldn’t be having to go to the Minister so many times for help. The WSCC used to have its own legal services providing advice to claimants but has backed off this support to provide only a worker’s advisor. When its processes are so highly legalistic, why were claimants denied and why are they being denied the level playing field of legal services? Why did the Minister’s office have to tell the commission legal service funds are available, something the commission itself didn’t know and ask? These are typical sorts of things that I think should be done beforehand. Why is there not good communication on this? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
