Increasing costs and red tape from the Workplace Safety are killing jobs in construction and driving up costs to families.

Bill 119 makes things even tougher and kills jobs by forcing independent operators and sole proprietors into the WSIB system at a cost of $11,000 per year, requiring coverage for office and secretarial staff that will never set foot on a construction site.

This Bill should be repealed and small businesses should have permanent representation on the WSIB.
