Manitoba premier Heather Stefanson is facing criticism after she talked about her son’s hockey team after being asked in the legislature about a woman’s death.
Krystal Mousseau had been in the ICU in a Brandon, Man. hospital fighting COVID-19. But in May 2021, the 31-year-old mother of two from Ebb and Flow First Nation died after a failed attempt to transfer her to a hospital in Ontario.
"Does the premier agree that a team transporting ICU patients should have the necessary training and equipment to do so safely?" Kinew asked. "Before I get to the member's question, I just wanted to say that sometimes we need to remember that we need to take time to celebrate our kids," Stefanson said.
Stefanson then began to address Kinew's question, but the speaker interrupted her, saying that she had run out of time.
