A report commissioned by the previous Progressive Conservative government shows it was aware that Alberta farm workers needed workplace insurance protection.
"raydan" said They wanted to stop them from making their kids work on the farm too... or am I mistaken?
That was a side effect of Bill 6, because they didn't consult with farmers beforehand. The bill limited farm workers to those who were covered under WCB, but WCB rules prevent family from being insured by WCB. So it would have excluded kids from doing chores because they wouldn't be covered.
I sure all the kids rejoiced, but the bill was amended.
You know, if your government keeps raising the cost of living in Canada pretty soon the only people who'll be able to live in Canada will be the Chinese.

There are still lots of cheap temporary foreign workers who come seasonally to pick our produce.
The thing we don't miss, since BC implemented similar rules, is 6 passenger vans rolling over and killing dozens.
But, but, but... insurance cost money, and we don't need no f**king insurance.
You also don't need inexpensive food.
