“Liberal Member of Provincial Parliament Andrea Hazell sits on the committee and said [WSIB] claims that don’t get reported are from those with a second language or those who are underrepresented.

“That hurts because it’s the family that gets impacted so it lowers the income threshold. They experience food insecurity,” Hazell said.

“The percentage of injured workers that don’t speak up is very high, and we need to stop it. We need to find a way to educate the workers and to be fair through the system.”
