"The FedEx guy just tossed the brown envelopes on our front porch," said LaPrade, who lives in Long Sault, Ont. But now that he's been granted workers' compensation, rules say he may have to pay back those amounts. "It's still not my money," LaPrade said of the cheques, as he expects to now have to dedicate a significant portion of the funds to paying back the government. "When I got sick, I didn't know where I was going or what I was going to do," he said. LaPrade took his case to the highest level of Ontario's workers' compensation system, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal.
