REGINA — On Aug. 1, amendments to The Workers' Compensation Act, 2013 came into force, establishing presumptive cancer coverage for wildland firefighters in Saskatchewan.
These amendments also included several housekeeping items:
- Ensuring chiropractors, health care professionals, physicians and psychiatrists licensed in other jurisdictions are covered;
- Allowing board members to complete proceedings after their term expires; and
- Enabling regulations to specify how the Saskatchewan Workers' Compensation Board publishes appeal tribunal decisions.
