Thank you.
Regarding personal protective equipment in federal institutions, I did write Minister Blair about certain labour issues on October 2, 2020. I have yet to receive a response, but one of the questions and one of the issues that federal union members raised with me was on the protocol around PPE. As you will note, at the very beginning of the pandemic in the spring there was not sufficient PPE in federal penitentiaries, and it was a very big problem. That's part of the reason why there was such a massive outbreak.
Have the PPE policies been updated since the spring, and what measures are available to officers to enforce the mandatory mask wearing and social distancing in common areas?
