Ontario workmen now have the highest maximum compensation levels in Canada. These benefits apply to pers- ons involved in accidents occur- ing on or after July 1, 1973. Among major items effected by the increases are: The earnings maximum is increased from $9, 000 to $10, 00( annually far accidents occurring on and after July 1, 1973.

Pay - ments for dependent children will be increased to $70, and -for orphans, to $ 80.
