Last week Saskatchewan announced its 5 phase plan to re-open non-essential services beginning May 4th.
CKDM wanted to know the Parklands thoughts on Saskatchewan’s re-opening plan, and whether or not Manitoba should adopt a similar plan.
Michelle, Ashley, and Derek agree that starting to re-open is the right choice.
Michelle says that opening certain services will be beneficial for Manitobans' mental health.
Ashley says that it is necessary to have a plan and that staggered openings are the best way to do it.
Derek believes that while there might be future outbreaks, we must overcome the fear of the virus and do what’s sustainable for our province.
However many people seem to disagree with the plan, saying it is too early.
Jamie thinks that we should continue to wait, and see the results that Saskatchewan gets with their plan before we make any changes.
Matt says Manitoba should wait until Mid-May to announce any openings. He adds that May long weekend might have an impact on the province's numbers.
Pauline thinks that opening things up again could set Manitoba back to square one.
Premier Brian Pallister says the government will update Manitobans on their re-opening plan next week
