The provincial government will establish a task force to look at the worker’s compensation system.
The Gallant Liberals have also asked the auditor general to conduct a value-for-money audit of WorkSafeNB.

Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Minister Donald Arseneault says while employers and industry have concerns over rising premiums, they must also recognize that this money is used to pay benefits to injured workers.
Arsenault also notes that the premiums here are relatively low compared with other provinces.
The task force will consist of employer and worker representatives and be charges by a neutral party not from New Brunswick.
