Canadian provinces facing high costs to rid expired hand sanitizer sent by Ottawa
Saskatchewan is expecting to spend $100,000 to get rid of more than 350,000 litres of hand sanitizer that’s sitting in a Regina warehouse and Manitoba spent more than $462,000 to repurpose its extra sanitizer.
Both provinces say they received more sanitizer from Ottawa than was necessary during the pandemic because they’d procured their own supply.Saskatchewan Opposition NDP Leader Carla Beck says provincial governments should have considered distributing the excess to non-profits, community organizations and others who were running short of supplies.
