Freedom of Information Legislation

Most Ontario hospitals are expected to post their executive contracts online today now that they're subject to freedom of information legislation.

The N-D-P want to cap the salaries of hospital C-E-O's at 418-thousand dollars a year but Tom Closson of the Ontario Hospital Association says this is the wrong time to limit pay for hospital administrators.

Closson adds that being more transparent will boost the public's confidence in what he says is the most efficient hospital system in Canada.
