Trudeau announces $32M in federal funding for Sask. long-term care​

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Saskatoon Wednesday with an agenda that includes meeting with long-term care residents and vaccine researchers, and a visit to a daycare.

The prime minister's first stop was at long-term care home St. Ann's Senior Citizen Centre.

In a joint announcement with Everett Hindley — Saskatchewan's minister of mental health and addictions, seniors and rural and remote Health — Trudeau said that the federal government has agreed to give the Saskatchewan government $32 million to improve care for seniors living in long-term care.

Then from the OP from the CBC:
In a joint announcement with Everett Hindley — Saskatchewan's minister of mental health and addictions, seniors and rural and remote Health — Trudeau/Singh said that the federal government has agreed to give the Saskatchewan government $32 million to improve care for seniors living in long-term care.

Jagmeet/Justin said the money will go toward improving care, safer dining practices, increased site cleaning and staff safety protocols.

Hindley said the last two years have been challenging as the pandemic has raged on. He said restrictions and feelings of isolation have been particularly difficult for seniors.

"We appreciate the federal government's support today for the work Saskatchewan has done to improve infection prevention and control measures in long-term care over the past couple of years," he said.

However, Hindley said the federal funding will be used to offset provincial costs already incurred throughout the pandemic.

"So whether it's, you know, the cohorting of staff and facilities because of some of the measures, infection prevention and control. So that $32 million is going to be used in those sorts of areas. So it's not anything really new in terms of where that money is going to be going."

Of course not the announcement was about giving Saskatchewan what they are already owed .

Jagmeet/Justin said the money will go toward improving care, safer dining practices, increased site cleaning and staff safety protocols.

That's racist. The Filipinos are doing the best they can under the circumstances.
