Yes. It seems that in this move to the global economy, everybody is looking for ways to cut costs, and because the compensation systems are funded through premiums by employers, employers have been trying to find ways to reduce those costs for disabled workers.
The impact has been a cost-shifting, away from the costs being paid by employers to the greater community. You can look at the increases in Canada Pension Plan disability payments, in payments by municipal levels in terms of welfare and disability pensions. Injured workers are calling for the national government to set national standards that would include preventing that cost-shifting and that those who are legally responsible should be paying the fare rather than putting it onto the public purse.
