British Columbia will compensate 251 families of disabled children, but systemic issues remain.

British Columbia's Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, is satisfied with the province's resolution to compensate caregivers of children with disabilities, transferring nearly $1.2 million to 251 families. However, Chalke stresses that systemic issues in federal legislation, which prevent some caregivers from accessing benefits, remain unresolved. He urges the province to collaborate with the federal government to address these inequities.
