An excess of expired hand sanitizer is proving quite costly for some provinces.
The federal government spent 376 million dollars to get 20 million litres of hand sanitizer out to the provinces during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Saskatchewan says it will have to spend roughly 100 thousand dollars to dispose of more than 350 thousand litres of the expired germ killer.
Manitoba says it spent more than 462 thousand to re-purpose its extra hand sanitizer.
Both provinces say they received more sanitizer from Ottawa than was necessary during the pandemic because they'd procured their own supply.
