The Ministry has begun rolling out the new FHT contract. To better understand the new clauses that are in this agreement, AFHTO is hosting webinars for our leadership members, on Tuesday, March 13th from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m and Tuesday, March 20th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., where the Ministry will walk our members through the clauses that have had significant changes and to answer any questions our members may have. Our lawyer, Kathy O’Brien from DDO Health Law, will also be on the webinars so that she can answer questions you may have from a legal standpoint – Kathy has reviewed an earlier version of the FHT contract and has provided some advice and guidance which was shared with the Ministry as they continue to finalize the agreement. A version of the FHT contract was sent to all FHTs and the Ministry will email your FHT leadership directly with the template agreement. Given the short notice of the original invitation, the webinars will also be taped and available to the membership shortly after the session – we will also be collecting any questions that are asked during and after the webinars which we will also send out to the FHTs.
