Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey recently questioned the Pallister Government on safety in the workplace. 

He asked the Minister of Growth, Enterprise and Trade, Blaine Pedersen, if he would reverse course and make investments to keep workers safe.

Lindsey said that the Province has cut the advisory council on workplace health and safety, and that workplace health and safety inspections have fallen by 60%. 

Minister Pederson responded to the question, saying that the government is targeting inspections against those who are most likely to have accidents.

He added that their system is “far better than trying to have as many inspections as possible with no real purpose.”
