Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thornhill's world-famous Shouldice hospital, which performed almost 7,000 hernia operations last year, has followed the Ontario government's order to suspend elective surgery and has closed its doors during the COVID lockdown, but employees of this historic institution have become unintended casualties of the emergency CERB funds, caught in the ineligibility provisions for hospitals. Shouldice hospital is covering staff salaries for now but can't continue to do that for long.
Might the finance minister correct this unintended consequence of the emergency funding?
