Liberals demand apology over body bags sent to Manitoba reserves

OTTAWA - The federal government has sent a message to aboriginal Canadians that it expects them to die from the swine flu and Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq should offer an apology for the dozens of body bags that were sent to several First Nations communities in Manitoba, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said Thursday..........


Aglukkaq said Thursday the incident was unacceptable:

"It was insensitive and offensive. As minister of health and as an aboriginal I am offended," she said in a written statement. " To all who took offence at what occurred, I want to say that I share your concern and I pledge to get to the bottom of it.

"I have ordered my deputy minister to conduct a thorough and immediate inquiry into the situation. I will make the result of the inquiry public."
