Any changes affecting WCB legislation is not a good for Workers of Alberta. - BILL 47 CHANGES BELOW TO BE IMPLEMENTED EARLY 2021
Next time Alberta votes, I encourage Albertans to think about 2020 the Alberta Government response to COVID and ADVERSE changes to the WCB Legislation that will demission benefits and services to injured workers for WCB cost savings. 

Alberta Government  website  https://www.alberta.ca/improving-workplace-health-and-safety.aspx
​ We are reversing some of the costly changes made in 2018 to ensure programs and services remain sustainable and affordable, including:
​Reinstating an insurable earnings cap for injured and ill workers Limiting  presumptive coverage for psychological injuries to firefighters, police officers, peace officers, correctional officers, paramedics and emergency dispatchers Other types of workers still have access to coverage for work-related psychological injuries through the normal claim process Returning the Workers’ Compensation Board’s responsibility to calculate cost of living adjustments, rather than basing them automatically on the Alberta consumer price index Restoring a voluntary system for reinstating an injured worker Maintaining injured workers’ right to choose a physician for a medical exam Removing the requirement for employers to contribute to health benefit plans for injured workers who are off work Continuing to allow the Workers’ Compensation Board to have oversight of the Accident Fund to address the needs of injured workers and employers Moving services provided by the Fair Practices Office and the Medical Panels Office to other organizations to reduce duplication and save money
