During Question Period recently our MLA Amanda Lathlin addressed the report of a positive COVID 19 test at the Manitoba Hydro Keeyask site.

Lathlin says the situation at the site and surrounding communities reminds us how inadequate health care is in the Northern and remote communities adding that First Nations across Manitoba are working to get additional nurses and deploying more testing but this is always a challenge.

When asked if action will be taken to ensure all northern First Nations have what they need to address this crisis Minister of Crown Services Jeff Wharton responded by saying that the safety of those at the Keeyask  site is a number one concern.
