Nurse recruitment, paper files and Jets trade Pierre-Luc Dubois

Good evening. Here’s a look at what our newsroom has been working on today:

Health Minister Audrey Gordon said nearly 90 per cent of candidates from the Philippines, who were offered jobs during a February recruitment mission, accepted positions across Manitoba.

Information obtained by the Free Press, via a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act request, suggests the reason why the province doesn’t report timely overdose death data is because it is reliant on “paper files.”

And the Winnipeg Jets have traded centre Pierre-Luc Dubois to Los Angeles for Gabriel Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari and a second-round draft pick.
