Description
March 14, 2023
Alberta's UCP announced cancer coverage for Fort McMurray wildfire firefighters on Monday, but the Opposition NDP and Alberta Professional Fire Fighters & Paramedics Association say the details in the bill are different than what province said it would be. As Saif Kaisar reports, the government rejected calls to make it easier for firefighters to get workers' compensation for cancer.
