Manitoba conservation officers will soon be helping with surveillance at the U.S. border as part of a plan to address threatened tariffs on Canadian goods, Premier Wab Kinew said Friday.

Conservation officers who already work in the southern part of the province will be asked to help inform police and border officials about what’s happening on the ground. They can also help people in dire situations, Kinew said.
