But he is still banned from having responsibility for anyone with a significant disability.
Latimer, who is 60, was convicted of second-degree murder in 1997 and sentenced to life in prison for killing his severely disabled daughter.
Tracy, who was 12, had cerebral palsy when Latimer killed her on the family’s farm in Wilkie, Sask., by piping exhaust into the cab of his truck in 1993.
The board also denied Latimer’s request to travel freely outside Canada without having to apply first for a limited time passport.
