Manitoba's Premier is responding to a number of churches who are petitioning the government to allow church gatherings to operate at 100 per cent.
A group of four churches originally signed a letter to Premier Brian Pallister and plan to present it to the Premier on June 20. Since first posting the letter online, over 50 churches have also signed as well as 2,000 individuals.
Asked about the letter on Thursday at a COVID-19 update, the Premier says he's listening to the advice of health officials.
"The churches won't make health policy"
"Well, I'm going to ask the church organizations to have a little faith," the premier says.
