PROVINCE RELEASES AMENDMENTS TO BILL 6 EXEMPTING FARM AND RANCH OWNERS, FAMILIES
The provincial government announced amendments to the controversial Bill 6 Monday, after the legislation faced growing opposition from Alberta farmers and ranchers.
Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour Minister Lori Sigurdson said the amendments “confirm” the government’s plan to exclude farm and ranch owners, and their families, from Occupational Health and Safety and mandatory Workers’ Compensation Board coverage.
