British Columbia ombudsperson Jay Chalke says he's satisfied the provincial government has fixed a problem that shortchanged caregivers of children with disabilities by nearly $1.2 million in federal funding.

Chalke’s office released a report in 2022 that found the monthly federal child disability benefit was being kept in the province's coffers instead of being passed on to those with a kinship care agreement with the province.

He said B.C. still hasn’t responded to his recommendation that it work with Ottawa to fix other inequities in federal legislation.
