The Saskatchewan NDP wants the ombudsman to look at Extendicare’s financial records.
An investigation is promised into the company’s handling of a deadly COVID-19 outbreak at Regina’s Parkside care home.
The NDP’s seniors critic Matt Love accused Extendicare of putting profits over people and believes that is evident in dividends still being paid out to shareholders during the outbreak.
In an email statement Friday evening Extendicare clarified that it’s financial statements are published every quarter with a detailed summary of costs including efforts to combat COVID.
