Manitoba Premier-elect Wab Kinew expresses "extraordinary gratitude" after election win | FULL

Premier-designate Wab Kinew addressed Manitobans following Tuesday night's historic election win on Wednesday morning to discuss his party's promises on health care, affordability, and conducting a landfill search.

“This is a job in which we give it our all,” he told reporters Wednesday morning, less than 12 hours after accepting his new post at the provincial legislature.

Kinew promised his NDP government would move forward with a search of the landfill if he came into power, and Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree says the federal government aims to work with the province on next steps.

The incoming leader thanked the public as the New Democrats turn to fulfil promises made on the campaign trail, including hiring more health-care staff, re-opening emergency rooms and building a new cancer-care facility.

Kinew became the first First Nations provincial premier in Canadian history. Kinew said while electing to have an Indigenous premier shows a step forward, the election was ultimately about health-care.
