I. INTRODUCTION: TRIUMPH OF THE CRISIS LOBBY Every year, a predictable scenario is played out in several jurisdictions across North America. Stories begin to appear in the media documenting the skyrocketing costs that have thrown workers' compensation into crisis, creating a nightmare for hapless employers. Experts appear on the scene to lay the blame on overly generous benefits and abuse of the system by workers.

  • MEDIA RELEASE Coalition
    Ontario Health MEDIA RELEASE Coalition March 3, 1999 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Attention: Assignment Editors OHC calls for full public consultation and release of crucial Long Term Care document Toronto - The Ontario Health Coalition is today urging the provincial government to immediately confirm or deny persistent rumours that it plans to fast-track new long-term care regulations without full public consultation. In an open letter to Premier Mike Harris and Health Ministers Cam Jackson and Elizabeth Witmer, the OHC is demanding full public consultation as well as the release of a key document "Service Directions for CCAC's and other Long Term Care Community Agencies" published by the Long Term Care Division of the Ministry of Health. This document has been quietly circulated for a number of months to a hand-picked few, but is being withheld from the public. We understand that it contains draft policies regarding eligibility, prioritization and service maximums for CCACs. The new regulations will have significant bearing on who is eligible for long-term care services, how much service they can have and will set priorities among different consumers. "Given the line of argument advanced by the government in a recent Health Services Appeal Board ruling, we fear that new long term care regulations or policy may contain less entitlement to many services, restrictions to access and to a full appeal procedure as well as to the Bill of Rights which the current Long Term Care Act contains," said Lydia Mazzuto, OHC spokesperson. Last month, the Health Services Appeal Board ruled in favour of Mr.

  • A Case Study in Partisanship and Whipping in the Committee System
    Whipped Out of Shape: A Case Study in Partisanship and Whipping in the Committee System - First Draft - By Charles Thompson Ontario Legislature Internship Programme 2010 - 2011 1303 A Whitney Block, Queen’s Parl Toronto, ON M7A 1A2 Tel: 416-325-0040 2 Introduction “The government can write the Standing Orders any way it wants. We will find a way to exploit those Standing Orders. We will find a way to point out that the government is not quite perfect yet; that there are some things it could do that it has not done yet; that there are some ways it could spend money a little better than the way it is doing now.” - Michael James Breaugh, MPP Oshawa (1975-1990) Parliamentary Democracy in Canada is not without its wrinkles, and while the business of the House seems to have borne the brunt of criticism there is ample cause to discuss the shortcomings of parliamentary committees. Committees receive a fraction of the public attention afforded to the proceedings of the House, and rarely receive their due attention even from the academic community. Nevertheless they perform a vital role in the scrutiny of legislation and the review of government policy. Given the overlap between their membership and activities it should not surprise us that committees suffer from some of the same notorious pathologies as the House; namely an overly partisan atmosphere and a lack of empowerment or significance. These stumbling blocks impede the ability of committees to effectively discharge their responsibilities to the House. The House is not powerless to address these enduring deficiencies in the committee system, at least to the extent that the majority of the House perceives them as a negative.

  • Injured Worker Reintegration in Ontario Rachel Gnanayutham
    CRITICAL DISABILITY DISCOURSES/ DISCOURS CRITIQUES DANS LE CHAMP DU HANDICAP 8 64 Salvaging Injured Bodies: Injured Worker Reintegration in Ontario Rachel Gnanayutham* Injured Workers’ Consultants Community Legal Clinic [email protected] Abstract During the past four decades, political debates about and reforms to the Ontario Workers’ Compensation Board (OWCB), and thereafter to the Workers’ Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), have altered the dynamics of Ontario’s injured worker reintegration programs. Despite an abundance of legislative and policy reforms to the OWCB and WSIB, Ontario’s return-to-work scheme systematically fails to manage reintegration equitably. Instead, the legislative intent to support efforts to rehabilitate and return to work promotes a reintegration model that targets the bodies of injured workers as spaces for capital accumulation. This entails a narrative regarding the recovery of the body in a way that can hinder workers’ ability to return to sustainable work. Keywords Work injury; workers’ compensation; return to work; working bodies Récupérer les corps blessés: Réintégration des travailleurs blessés en Ontario Résumé Au cours des quatre dernières décennies, les débats politiques et les réformes de la Commission des accidents du travail de l'Ontario (OWCB), puis de la Commission de la sécurité professionnelle et de l'assurance contre les accidents du travail (WSIB) ont modifié la dynamique des programmes de réintégration des travailleurs blessés. En dépit d'une abondance de réformes législatives et politiques à l'OWCB et à la WSIB, le régime de retour au travail de l'Ontario ne réussit pas systématiquement à gérer équitablement la réinsertion sociale. *Rachel has a M.A in Labour Studies from McMaster University, Hamilton.
