Official Opposition backs Public Inquiry: CEO tour reports show Extendicare Parkside tragedy “years in the making”


REGINA - Official Opposition Leader Ryan Meili and Critic for Seniors Matt Love reiterated the New Democratic Party’s support for a public inquiry into the tragic loss of life at Extendicare Parkside in Regina today, as called for by the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses. They pointed to the history of failure by the Sask. Party government to address the urgent needs in long-term care - as documented in the government CEO Tour reports -  as a major factor in the outbreak that has cost so many lives over the past weeks.
