NDP Labour Critic Frank Corbett is calling on the Minister of Labour, Kerry Morash, to implement the Draft Violence in the Workplace Regulations prepared by the Province in response to recommendations from the Occupational Health and Safety Council in 1996, and stalled ever since by successive Liberal and Tory governments.

As a result Nova Scotians have paid the price. They have paid it in taxi cabs, in convenience stores, and in many other occupations where people work alone or with the public."
