Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili says the provincial government should limit bars to takeout service. (CBC) comments
The leader of the Saskatchewan NDP is calling on the provincial government to shut down all bar service and limit the businesses to takeout only. The call comes in the wake of fines being issues to three bars allegedly not obeying the current public health orders.
On Tuesday, Ryan Meili was asked if he thought Saskatchewan should close bars down and limit them to serving takeout orders. It would make perfect sense to close down bars, Meili said. That s what every other province with serious levels of cases has done, with cases far less than we have. They ve done that and that s what we should be doing. We need to look at the places where the transmission is happening the most and where people are at the highest risk.
