8:30 – On Tuesday we spoke with David Tschetter, Chair of the Hutterian Safety Council, who raised concerns that the Government of Saskatchewan is creating issues for the Hutterite communities that are struggling with COVID-19, particularly by connecting the newly-reported cases to Hutterite colonies. Tschetter says Hutterites are facing discrimination as a result, and Drew is joined by Rural and Remote Health Minister Warren Kaeding to discuss how the relationship between the Province and our Hutterite communities can be improved.
