Written Question 21-15(5): WCB Chronic Pain Policy

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board.

Would the Minister responsible for the WCB work with the Minister of Justice and bring forward to this House a legislative proposal that would amend or repeal the offending provision of the Workers' Compensation Board Act dealing with the Minister's powers relative to the WCB ratepayers fund within this Assembly?

If the Minister chooses not to bring forward the legislative proposal, would he provide the justification as to why he will not during this current session?

Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Ms. Lee.
