In an effort to reduce demands on the medical system, the communist anti-business NDP has ended the practice of demanding "sick notes" from an employee's doctor.
They stated that in 2024 over 1.6 million sick notes wasted doctor's time and possibly compromised the health of other people by requiring anyone claiming to be sick to visit a clinic, hospital ot doctor's office.
They will still be required for lengthier illness that involves benefit claims, but not the day or two illnesses that are part of standard labour laws in the province.
