The province will spend more than $100 million to accelerate how fast Manitoba can get essential medical supplies, equipment, hotel capacity and other critical needs.
Today Premier Brian Pallister announced new steps to secure faster and smarter healthcare.
“Our government is creating a special 100 million dollar procurement fund. This fund will help businesses tool up their operations. Some have already approached this challenge, and we thank them for that. This will help others do the same to tool up their operations, and workforces to manufacture essential medical supplies and equipment like gowns, masks, and face shields.”
Pallister says the three focuses of the government are (1) faster and smarter healthcare equipment procurement, (2) extra support and tax relief for businesses and homeowners, and (3) increasing shelter capacity for our most vulnerable.
