Committee Motion 38-15(5): CR 5-15(5): Resolution Of Conflicting Medical Opinions, Carried

I move that this committee recommends that, as a priority, the Minister responsible for the Workers’ Compensation Board work with the Governance Council to develop options for an independent means of resolving conflicting medical opinions that provides finality, and that reflects the basic principles of the workers’ compensation system and, in particular, the assumption in favour of the worker. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Speaker: SOME HON. MEMBERS
