Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell pledged Tuesday to end the clawback of WorkSafe B.C. benefits paid to children whose parents died on the job.
Stilwell made the promise less than 24 hours after Nanaimo NDP MLA Leonard Krog raised the issue in the legislature.
Krog cited the case of a four-year-old constituent, Brennan Smith, who was born shortly after his father drowned at a log boom near Port Mellon in 2011.
