Meeting with Manitoba nurses was at the top of the new Premier's agenda as he began his first week in office. Minister of Health Theresa Oswald joined the Premier and MNU President Sandi Mowat last Wednesday for a lunch meeting with nurses from St. Boniface Local 5, which is in Premier Selinger's constituency.

The second wave of the H1N1 pandemic was uppermost on the media's minds in a scrum with Selinger, Mowat and Oswald following the meeting.
