Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I recently asked some questions regarding the WSCC and my concerns regarding the occupational health and safety regs that are being reviewed and certainly ensuring that they will be fairly reviewed by the public, such as businesses. The Minister did respond in a good way and certainly said that he would make sure that did happen. After that, I did approach the Minister with some concerns regarding this situation with the Safety Advisory Committee. Specifically, where do they get their mandate to do this review that’s approximately 400 pages of regulations? In discussing this matter with a number of people in the community, be it with the Governance Council and in some light with the Minister, it sounded like no one knew who gave them that mandate. Can the Minister comment specific to that issue in the House today, which is: Who gave the Safety Advisory Committee the mandate to go out and review those 400 pages of regulations? Furthermore, who are they reporting their findings to?
