December 13, 2021: The Manitoba Human Rights Commission in a letter to the Minister of Health and Seniors, the Honourable Audrey Gordon, calls upon "Manitoba Health to develop, implement and publicly release clear policy guidance with respect to triage protocols in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic".

In this letter the Commission reaffirms the "human rights imperative underlying this issue" and reminds Manitoba Health of its concern with 
"the continued lack of clear and publicly available policy guidance as to how triaging decisions are made". ​The Commission continues on to urge Manitoba Health to "center" the HRTPC Statement of Guiding Principles and Recommendations in the development and implementation of any triage protocols.
