Manitoba Men Switched at Birth Confirmed by Second DNA Test
A second set of DNA tests have confirmed that two men were switched at birth at a hospital in northern Manitoba in 1975.
Former Manitoba aboriginal affairs minister Eric Robinson says the men from Norway House learned of the results Tuesday.
He says the tests show Leon Swanson is the biological son of the woman who raised David Tait Jr.
The 41-year-old men announced at a news conference last month that tests had revealed Tait is the son of the woman who raised Swanson.
Robinson says the latest results were anticipated but needed for Swanson to move on.
It's the second case of a mix-up at the federally run Norway House Hospital in the same year, and the government has tasked an independent third party to investigate what went wrong.

WestJet's Suncor announcement follows news from the City of Brandon that the airline has decided to cancel its Brandon-to-Toronto route.
The city says WestJet recently told them bookings on the route were slow and the company made the decision to cancel the route altogether.

New Jets Theme Will Be Presented at Home Opener
The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra is recording a new theme song for the Winnipeg Jets, composed by Hollywood composer Shawn Pierce.
Pierce says the piece has three parts -- it starts with nostalgia, moves into focusing on the current team, and then gets the listener psyched up and ready for the game.
The soundtrack will accompany a video, and it's all being kept under tight wraps until the Winnipeg Jets season opens.
That will happen at the MTS Centre on October 13th.
