Honestly, Madam Chair, the Member is asking the wrong Minister. The Member should be asking the Minister responsible for the WSCC. We, as an employer, share the same concerns. Last year our rate was, I think, 67 cents or something like that. This year we’ve had a significant increase in the rate as all employers have. Last year, as an example, we paid $2.3 million in premiums is really what they are. They are really like an insurance premium. We paid $2.3 million in insurance premium. The WSCC paid out $1.1 million in claims and on top of that we paid just over $600,000 in penalties. So in total we paid almost $3 million and there’s $1 million that went back to compensate our employees.
The WSCC, from my understanding – once again it might be best to ask the Minister responsible for the WSCC – has a process where they review their bank accounts and they have actuaries come in and they dig through their books to see what kind of money they have available, and based on what’s in their account, they determine a rate schedule/rate fee. We, as with all employers, don’t really have input into the rate schedules or the rate fees. We can say we think it’s too high, as I think many Members and many businesses have said, but as far as having an ability to impact their rates, we don’t have a voice there. At the end of the day, we pay our premiums, they’re like insurance premiums, and we had a million dollars' worth of benefit out of $3 million in fees and penalties.
