Yesterday, the Premier said he could have acted “possibly a week sooner” on stronger measures to protect people from COVID-19. But today on CBC, he admitted he could have acted on August 26 - over three weeks before he implemented a mask mandate and a full five weeks before he implemented a proof of vaccination policy.
Transparency needed on disastrous choices in 4th wave
SASKATOON - Today, Official Opposition Health Critic Vicki Mowat called on the province to release all recommendations that informed the Premier and Health Minister’s decision to scrap all public health measures in July and to create a transparent public reporting system on advice given by Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer moving forward.
REGINA - Today, NDP Critic for Highways, Infrastructure, and Transportation Trent Wotherspoon called on the provincial government to stop leaving federal dollars on the table and act to improve options for transportation in communities left isolated by Sask. Party’s cancellation of STC and the end of Greyhound bus services.
Today my thoughts are with the families of the critically ill patients who are being sent out-of-province because the Sask. Party failed to support our health system. Unfortunately, due to lack of planning and unwillingness to put patients and the people of this province first, our only option is to send patients across the country to receive care. It’s unacceptable.
