New data from an Angus Reid Institute study shows the majority of Manitobans do not feel they would receive timely care if a health emergency happened to them or their loved ones.
Over 4,000 Canadians were asked a variety of questions regarding the current health-care system between Nov. 26 and Dec. 1, 2025.
The majority of people asked in each province said they would not feel confident in their health-care system to handle an emergency in a timely manner. Manitoba led the way with 73 per cent.
Across the country, the study found men were more confident in the health-care system compared to women. Quebec respondents felt the most confident out of any province at 43 per cent.
Manitoba was also near the top of the list when asked if the overall quality of care is worse or not compared to the last 10 to 15 years.
Seventy-four per cent of Manitobans feel the health-care system has deteriorated compared to past years. The only province with a higher overall concern is New Brunswick at 76 per cent.
