In her latest report, Thompson’s MLA accused the provincial government for not listening to northern Manitobans when it comes to COVID-19 vaccination plans and business support decisions.

 

Danielle Adams points to the vaccine site at the Thompson Regional Airport as one of these decisions, explaining many northern communities are long distances away from vaccine supersites.

 

Adams says that the government’s plan should instead focus on bringing vaccines to people, not the other way around.

 

She asserts that government didn’t provide the supports businesses needed when the province was under strict measures, and that they’re not doing enough to keep skilled workers here in the north.

 

Adams ends her report by saying that the NDP is holding a virtual town hall with a focus on small business, and encourages constituents to participate. A date and time for the town hall has not yet been announced.
