Sometimes big challenges require big ideas. And big ideas mean big change. Ontario has bounced back before by thinking -- and acting -- with bold strokes. Ontario can again lead Canada in competitiveness and job creation by getting our economic fundamentals right. But a key step will be to open up economic opportunities for individual workers -- not old-time union bosses.

When it comes to Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), it's time to "fix it now." Because there's a much bigger bill in our future.WSIB premiums are necessary, but they are also a tax on jobs. The objective should be to keep premiums reasonable while still meeting workers' needs. The WSIB has failed to achieve this goal. But successive governments at Queen's Park have gone the "fix it later" route. And the problem is now out of control.
