HAMILTON (October 16, 1996) - In an address to members at a $40-a-plate dinner meeting of the newly-revived Progressive Group for Independent Business (PGIB), Fp president Robert Metz let attendees know that Freedom Party fully endorsed the group's effort to lobby the provincial government to reform the Workers' Compensation Board.
PGIB is collecting signatures on a petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario which calls for an option to allow business to opt out of the WCB, and for the freedom to seek better and less expensive private insurance programs elsewhere.
Metz presented PGIB with copies of Freedom Party's March 1996 Workers' Compensation report, prepared by Special Projects Manager Lloyd Walker (see last issue). Copies of that report (New Directions For Workers' Compensation Reform) are available through Freedom Party on request at e-mail, and will soon be accessible on our Website.
Those interested in finding out more about PGIB can write to their national office at 129 Pumphill Landing, S.W., Calgary Alberta, T2V 5C5 (Phone: (403) 259-5315).
