WINNIPEG — Health Minister Jane Philpott will meet Monday with families involved in two cases where babies were switched at birth at a northern Manitoba hospital in the 1970s, a spokesman for the families says. Former Manitoba aboriginal affairs minister Eric Robinson, who has worked with the men and their families, said Philpott has agreed to meet with the men as well as their parents and siblings, for three to four hours at a yet-to-be determined location in Winnipeg. Robinson has called for the meeting with Philpott for months and said he believes the men and their families will be seeking a comprehensive counselling program. The two cases involve four men who went home with different parents from the federally run Norway House Indian Hospital in 1975. They went public with the mix-ups in the past year after getting DNA tests.
