Alberta WCB head salaries draw Klein critique
Premier Ralph Klein criticized the Alberta Workers' Compensation Board president and vice presidents for high pay. The president now earns about 99,000 after a 39 percent rise, with Klein noting the salaries seem excessive and could reflect poorly on public service. The WCB defends the raises as based on external comparisons.

The Bloc Quebecois charged Wednesday that the Liberal government keeps files on journalists covering federal politics, calling the practice unhealthy and undemocratic. Public Works Minister Gagliano dismissed the claim, saying the Canada Information Office conducts media analysis and has no individual files.
