Le nouveau projet de loi 6 exige que tous les travailleurs d’exploitations agricoles en Alberta soient couverts par la Commission d’indemnisation des accidents du travail
Les exploitations agricoles et les ranchs en Alberta ne sont désormais plus soustraits de l’indemnisation des victimes d’accidents de travail et doivent mettre en place un compte CAT d’ici le 30 avril 2016. Les nouvelles règles s'appliqueront uniquement aux élevages et aux exploitations agricoles qui emploient des travailleurs rémunérés. Elles ne s’appliqueront pas aux propriétaires des exploitations ou aux membres de leur famille. Les changements au projet de loi ont commencé à entrer en vigueur le 1er janvier 2016.
