What entities are covered by the Policy Statement on collective bargaining set out in the 2010 Ontario Budget?
A3. The Crown, its agencies and all other transfer payment entities, such as hospitals, school boards, colleges, universities, developmental services agencies, etc., that negotiate collective agreements with their employees, other than municipalities, are covered by the Policy Statement. The fiscal plan provides no funding for incremental compensation increases for new collective agreements, which also applies to the Province’s share of any cost-shared programs. All boards of health, including municipal ones, are covered by the Policy Statement. All long-term care homes — for profit, not-for-profit and municipally run — are also covered by the Policy Statement. Municipal collective agreements are generally excluded from the Policy Statement because municipalities are a separate level of government, who have their own duly elected representatives. The government invites all municipalities to review the measures being taken within the Ontario Public Service and the broader public servi
