Débats spéciaux - JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION

3.    Mr. Hampton – That, in the opinion of this House, the McGuinty government must:

       Immediately direct the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) to eliminate the flawed "Experience Rating" program;

       Immediately direct the Provincial Auditor to conduct an audit of the flawed "Experience Rating" program;

       Recognize the fact that tens of millions of dollars have been drained out of the WSIB's accident fund each year by employers who have learned how to play the game of "Experience Rating";

       Recognize the fact that Experience Rating reduces employer claims – not worker injuries;

       Recognize the fact that the practice of experience rating actually encourages employers to mis-report or under-report injuries and occupational diseases, force injured workers back to work before they are medically ready, and pay workers sick pay rather than have them receive compensation benefits;

       Recognize that this hides the true extent of workplace injuries and illnesses in Ontario;

       Recognize that employers actually receive rebates after they have been penalized for workplace injuries and occupational diseases and deaths; and

       Recognize that the rebates flowing to employers under the program often exceed the cost of the original fine. Addressed to the Premier of Ontario. To be debated May 14, 2008.
