“We have not seen a mass casualty of this nature in the province in my 30 years in working in health care,” Livingstone said Monday.
“It is one of the most significant events ever and with respect to how the system responded … I think we’re proud of is the system worked exactly how it was supposed to work.
“It was a system-wide response to this tragedy. We saw the absolute very best of Saskatchewan in one of the absolute worst situations possible.”
