flag Manitoba introduces bills to end mandatory nurse overtime and set patient-to-nurse ratios, citing new hires but facing union and opposition scrutiny.

flag Manitoba introduced two bills on March 11, 2026, to end mandatory nurse overtime and establish nurse-to-patient ratios in key care areas like intensive care. flag The legislation, part of Premier Wab Kinew’s 2025 throne speech commitments, empowers the health minister to set staffing benchmarks and enforce limits, with exceptions in emergencies. flag The government cites hiring 1,100 new nurses since 2023 as evidence of sufficient staffing, though the Manitoba Nurses Union questions feasibility without further recruitment. flag The bills are under review, with opposition critics calling for more detail, while the province studies models from British Columbia.
