Howie_16,

The NDP Minister of Agriculture agrees with the part of my statement you bolded: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...take-1.3415855

Clipped:

Alberta's agriculture minister conceded his government didn't do a great job explaining its plan to extend Workers' Compensation coverage, and occupational health and safety rules to paid farm workers.

Oneil Carlier spoke at the Alberta Federation of Agriculture's annual meeting in Red Deer on Friday.

"I think we learned our lessons. Communicate sooner, more often, faster, harder what ever that might be," he said.

"But I think we've turned that corner and I'm really looking forward to getting to work and making sure this legislation works for Alberta," said Carlier.

Carlier adds the province is in the process of setting up a consultation with farmers and ranchers to come up with regulations to govern the new farm worker law.
