Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister reported a total of 202 warnings and 100 tickets were issued last week from November 23rd to 29th. He said a total of over 181 thousand dollars in fines were issued up from just over 126 thousand the week prior. He stated the vast majority of Manitobans are doing what Dr. Roussin ordered, following the fundamentals and that’s important and he thanks them for doing that and he thanks you for doing that, keep up the good work but there is a small minority of people and organizations who are not doing their part and in doing so are putting their health and the health of others at risk and that’s unfortunate and the message is clear there will be consequences for those who disregard the public health orders.
Twenty-two 5 thousand dollar tickets went to businesses for various offences, forty-eight 1296 dollar tickets to individuals for various offences, twenty-three 298 dollar tickets for failure to wear a mask in indoor public places and seven band bylaw tickets were issued by the Manitoba First Nations Police Service.
