I will move on to Mr. Lucas. If you have information on any other shipments sent out to other countries, it would be appreciated if you could share that with the committee.
I have a question for Mr. Lucas from the Department of Health. Yesterday I donated blood at the Canadian Blood Services here in Canada, and I was shocked to see that the CBS personnel and health care workers there were not wearing any type of protective masks at all. I posted a picture of that on my Facebook. I asked them why, and they told me that CBS did not deem it a requirement for their workers, and therefore didn't even have a supply of masks on hand. I'm shocked that the Canadian Blood Services does not mandate the use of masks in their blood collection facilities, and I'm wondering why. Is it because we are in such a short supply here currently? Should they not be wearing masks at the CBS?
Also, I've been contacted by flight attendants who live in my riding. They are scared to do their job, and they are scared to lose their job. That is a horrible position to be in, for sure. They see medical staff needing full personal protective equipment to interact with possible COVID-19 cases, especially those who have returned to Canada, and yet they're asked to do their job without personal protective equipment. Why are they not wearing masks? Is it again because we're in short supply? Should they not be wearing masks?
