On Thursday, the Premier of Manitoba, Wab Kinew, formally apologised to Mr Beauvais and Mr Ambrose in person.
“It is something that has been owed to them for 68 years – in fact it’s been owed to them their entire lives,” said Mr Kinew, who also referenced the municipally run hospital in the Manitoban town of Arborg where the mistake happened.
“Ed and Richard are here today as two people wronged by the Manitoba government and the institutions they should have been able to trust. They were wronged from the very first day each of them arrived here on Earth, at a hospital in Arborg.
“What happened to you cannot be undone but it must be acknowledged and it must be atoned for.
“While we cannot take back the series of failures that caused your pain, we can perhaps make things a little easier now… on behalf of the Manitoba government, we sincerely apologise for our failure to care for you.”
