On the recommendation of the undersigned, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, by and with the advice and concurrence of the Executive Council of Ontario, orders that:

Order in Council O.C. 274/2019 made February 28, 2019 (the “Establishment OIC”) established for two special advisor positions, namely, the Governance Expert and the Insurance Expert (the “Special Advisors”), for the purposes of the WSIB Operational Review.  The Special Advisors are being remunerated pursuant to Order in Council O.C. 275/2019 (the “Remuneration OIC”).

The Establishment OIC was amended by O.C. 1044/2019 made July 26, 2019 to extend the length of the WSIB Operational Review to provide additional time for the Special Advisors to perform their work. Accordingly, the Remuneration OIC needs to be revoked and replaced with a new one to reflect the additional time and money required.

Therefore, pursuant to the prerogative of Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario to provide for the remuneration of persons who are appointed to serve Her Majesty’s Government of Ontario in the discharge of its executive obligations and responsibilities,

  1. the Governance Expert special advisor shall be remunerated at the rate of $700 per day, up to a maximum of 93 days, such that the maximum payable is $65,100; and
  2. the Insurance Expert special advisor shall be remunerated at the rate of $950 per day, up to a maximum of 67 days, such that the maximum payable is $63,650,

in respect of the period beginning February 28, 2019 and not extending beyond January 31, 2020.

In addition to the remuneration set out above, the Special Advisors shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in carrying out their Special Advisors duties in accordance with the Management Board of Cabinet’s Travel, Meal and Hospitality Expenses Directive.

Order in Council O.C. 275/2019 is revoked on the day this Order in Council is made.
