Education allowance for the repair or replacement of clothing worn or damaged by reason of wearing an artificial limb. This act was passed only after a long and tiring ten hours of debate in the Legislature. All Liberal members who spoke, expressed disappointment with the inadequate provisions of the bill. The increase in pensions which the government granted were minimal. The Liberal caucus feel that workmen's compensation penSions must be directly in- dexed to the cost of living - anything else is unacceptable. The federal government has taltenthis *pin the provision of old age security and the income supplement and Canada Pension For the year ended December 31st, 1973 Auditor's Report July 1, 1974 increased workmen's compensatipn pensions by a maximum of 60 percent based on the following formula; Pensions of those whe became eligible for disability pensions during 1973 will be increased by 4 Percent; For those who became eligible for penaions in 1972, their pen- sions will be adjusted by 8 per- cent; For those who became eligible for pensions in 1971, their pen- sions will be raised by 10 percent and for each further year a person has been eligible for a disability pension prior to January 1, 1971 that pension will be Increised by an additional 2 percent per year to a maximum 60 percent increase. The legislation also: 1) Increased the earnings ceiling for the calculation of benefits from $10,000 to $12,000. 2) increased the minimumn total perthanent disability pension and .widow's allowance from $250 to $260. 3) provided for the continuation of full benefits to partially disabled workmen who are unable to find suitable em- ployment as long as that work- man is seeking employment or accepting whatever training which the Board deems ad- visable. 4) eliminated the requirement that a dependant's pension not exceed the deceased's earnings. 5) ensured that the pension to a permanently totally disabled workman will never be less than the pension which would be payable to his dependents if he died. 6) increased the clothing In my opinion these Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of the Board as at December 31, 1973 and the results of its operations and the source and application of its capital funds for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting prin- ciples generally accepted for Ontario school boards applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
