Manitoba's New Democratic Party (NDP) government on June 9 passed Bill 25, adding colon cancer, ureter cancer and lung cancer in non-smokers to the list of diseases presumed occupational in fire fighters, as well as heart injuries that occur within 24 hours of a fire call.
Bill 25 builds on Manitoba's groundbreaking legislation passed in May 2002, which amended the province’s Workers Compensation Act to specify that brain cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, leukemia and non-Hodgkins lymphoma were presumed to be job-related if contracted by a professional fire fighter with a specified number of years on the job.
The recent improvements to Manitoba's presumptive legislation legislation were the direct result of ongoing lobbying by the Manitoba Professional Fire Fighters Association, and a strong rapport with Premier Gary Doer and his fire fighter-friendly NDP government.
