- 100 per cent funding by the end of 2027.
Under the regulation, the WSIB is required to submit a funding plan to the Minister of Labour by June 30, 2013 outlining how the WSIB will achieve the prescribed sufficiency targets.
In the plan, the WSIB is required to include:
1. A description of the measures it will take to achieve partial sufficiency and sufficiency by the dates prescribed.
2. An explanation of how those measures will be used to achieve the prescribed sufficiency ratios.
The plan and any revisions to the plan must be approved by the WSIB Board of Directors.
