Pass Bill 86
"The true aim of a compensation law is to provide for the injured workers and his dependants and to prevent their becoming a charge upon their relatives, or friends,
or upon the community at large!"
The Bill repeals the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 and enacts the Meredith Act (Fair Compensation for Injured Workers), 2025. The Meredith Act (Fair Compensation for Injured Workers), 2025 establishes a scheme for compensating workers who have sustained a workplace accident or developed a workplace disease. The Act also contemplates the provision of services to assist injured workers with rehabilitation and retraining. The Act is to be administered by the Workers’ Compensation Commission of Ontario. A Tribunal, known as the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Tribunal of Ontario, is established to hear disputes arising from the administration of the Act. Provisions respecting the transition between the two Acts are provided for.
