January 7, 2026 (Winnipeg) – The Workers Compensation Act (the Act) Legislative Review Committee 2025-2026 (LRC) has opened the public consultation period for its review process.
The LRC, appointed by the provincial government, is tasked with reviewing the Act to make sure it continues to meet the needs of both workers and employers in Manitoba's evolving economy and workplaces.

The public has until March 31, 2026, to provide their feedback at wcbactreview.com.
"We are looking for input from workers, employers, labour unions, industry and safety associations, key stakeholders and encourage any interested Manitobans to visit our website to learn more about our mandate and scope of the review," says Lawrie Cherniack, LRC Chairperson. "Anyone interested in the future of the workers' compensation system can participate in the consultation to have their voice heard."

To learn more about the LRC, visit the website at wcbactreview.com. A Consultation Paper is available, setting the context for the consultation.

Once the public consultation period is complete, the LRC will review all submissions and prepare a report outlining its recommendations for the government's consideration in December 2026.
