Liberal Leader Addresses Southern Alberta Issues During Lethbridge Visit
LETHBRIDGE – The Alberta Liberal leader came to town on Thursday to hear concerns from southern Albertans.
Dr. David Swann spoke to the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs about mental health, watershed protection and Bill 6.
He said that despite claims to the contrary, coverage from the Workers’ Compensation Board provides better protection than private insurance.
“Farm workers who are injured or killed can sue a farm owner unless they have workers compensation,” Dr. Swann said. “Thats the benefit of WCB, it protects both the farm owner and the farm worker.”
