BURNS LAKE (NEWS1130) – A man severely injured in the Burns Lake sawmill blast two years ago joined other victims in Victoria today to call for a public inquiry into the explosion.
Kenny Michell says he wants justice for the two men killed, their families and those who were injured, and a public inquiry is the only way to ensure that happens.
Premier Christy Clark told the legislature her deputy has already looked into why no charges were laid and the government has appointed a lawyer to ensure recommendations related to how WorkSafeBC does its investigations are implemented.
But NDP Leader Adrian Dix says the investigation into the blast was botched and a full inquiry would provide accountability.
