OTTAWA — The Saskatchewan Health Authority is investigating a new complaint from an Indigenous woman who alleges she was coerced into sterilization after giving birth less than four months ago.
The woman’s lawyer spoke before the Senate committee on human rights in Ottawa on Wednesday.
Alisa Lombard says her 30-year-old client was scheduled to have a caesarian section to deliver her third child at the Moose Jaw hospital in December.
