SASK. NDP ADDRESSES RISING CASE NUMBERS
Saskatchewan’s NDP Leader Ryan Meili spoke on Monday about his concerns over the provinces rising COVID-19 case numbers.
Meili and the NDP alleged the government previously withheld COVID-19 modelling data, and asked the government to commit to transparency regarding hospitalizations, testing, and vaccine delivery.
“We need a commitment from this government that they’re going to stop hiding information from the people of Saskatchewan,” Meili said. “This is people’s livelihoods and their actual lives. People are dying. They have a duty to be open and honest.”
Meili said he feels current measure are not doing enough to slow the spread of the virus.
