TITLE: Manitoba Birth Injury Statute of Limitations?
POST: I've looked into this before and I believe that my case is unfortunately well outside the statute of limitations, but I thought I would ask here just in case I'm wrong. 

When I was born I suffered from meconium aspiration, which the attending doctor failed to properly treat. As a result I was in the intensive care unit at another hospital for a month, during which I stopped breath 3 times (one time was in my dad's arms in the elevator immediately after I had been cleared to finally go home).

Obviously I survived, however I was in an incubator for quite a long time, and as a result I am now severely hearing impaired. My parents decided not to sue because "the same thing happened to another baby that ended up dying and the obstetrics unit was closed because of it. We thought that was justice enough and didn't want to cause trouble." I believe [this] is the case my mom is referring to.

So I am 25 now, and about to start the process of buying hearing aids for the first time since my provincial health care coverage expired (no coverage after you turn 18). I've done the math and if I have to buy new hearing aids every 5 years as recommended, that's a cost of around $1500 a year for the rest of my life. All because my parents were too Canadian to sue.
TL;DR: 
What's the statute of limitations for birth injury malpractice suits in Manitoba? I read somewhere that I had until 2 years after I turned 18, but not sure if that's correct.
