B.C. Labour Minister Jennifer Whiteside and Health Minister Josie Osborne unveiled the legislation Tuesday, saying it will free doctors up from needless paperwork, while preventing sick people from spreading their illness just to get a sick note.

I've never needed a doctor's note for any job, ever. That includes working at fast food, digging ditches, to working for fortune 500's.

None of my bosses wanted me coming to work sick.
