Thank you, Madam Chair. I’ll continue where Mr. Bromley has probably left off here and opened the door here with respect to WSCC continued issues. I’m from a bit of a different perspective on this and I believe the directorate and the Minister have more accountability on our performance than we’re maybe led to believe here.
The Minister has gone on record to use quotes such as ”we are the collaborators of HR management” and he’s also used the terms ”as we provide the tools.” The Minister mentioned $600,000 in claims or penalties. It’s actually closer to $750,000 in claims or penalties in the last two years. If the department and directorate is responsible for the tools, the question I have to ask is, which tools are we using, which tools have we brought forward, which tools are we using or have we brought to the table to help mitigate the current claims growth, the current penalties?
The Minister has gone on record as saying we’re probably going to see some more fines this year. I believe that the leadership for this does come from this department. Even though the managers must manage, the tools come from this department. So I want to hear what the department, directorate and Minister here are going to do to address these WSCC concerns.
