When adjusted for inflation, wage rates have fallen by just over 6 percent over the past 10 years for 83 percent of personal support workers (PSWs) in Ontario long term care homes. In a submission to the Ontario government, CLAC encourages the government to avoid a one-size-fits-all strategy regarding its proposal to use legislated caps on allowable compensation increases.

CLAC provided input to the government of Saskatchewan on the proposed amendments to The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996. Our responses on eye and face protection, head protection, foot protection, hearing protection, and personal flotation devices are offered in this submission.
