Billions of dollars are at stake as a three-day hearing at Ontario’s highest court gets underway Tuesday over the province’s controversial wage-limiting law for public sector workers.

Ontario has already paid about $1 billion to workers who’ve recently gone to arbitration to reopen their contracts in wake of the ruling.

“He concluded that Bill 124 substantially interfered with the associational rights of employees based on the incorrect conclusion that the inability to achieve particular substantive outcomes is by itself a substantial interference with collective bargaining,” provincial lawyers wrote. The province argues that Bill 124 only limits negotiations on the annual one per cent raise cap and that other monetary and non-monetary negotiations are still permitted.

The judge who struck down Bill 124 delivered a “carefully reasoned decision,” the groups argued in their factums filed with court.
