WSIB Funding Review issues Green Paper

In September 2010, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario (WSIB) announced a comprehensive independent funding review chaired by Harry Arthurs, former dean of Osgoode Hall law school and president emeritus of York University, both in Toronto.

As part of the WSIB Funding Review, public consultations will be held in major centers across Ontario to gather public input particularly from employers, workers and labour organizations on a range of issues relating to the WSIB's financial future. To facilitate the public consultations, the WSIB Funding Review released Funding Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance System: A Green Paper for Public Discussion.

The 22-page Green Paper explains the financial issues confronting the WSIB in simple and accessible language and outlines how to make submissions to the independent WSIB Funding Review.
