re the 2009 Auditor General’s Report on the unfunded liability of the WSIB

Submission to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts presents IWC position that the Report contains assumptions and misinformation that artificially inflate concerns about the unfunded liability. The unfunded liability does not present a danger to the WSIB’s finances; fear and panic about the unfunded liability, however, present a significant threat to injured workers’ livelihoods and the integrity of the workers’ compensation system.
