Thank you very much.
Moving forward, we know that in many places, workers are becoming sick with COVID because they are not provided with proper protection or are not provided with budgets to properly support staff. I'll give you an example.
Currently in our shelters in Winnipeg, shelters that are all housed within my riding, we have a COVID outbreak. Workers are working around the clock. These shelters and front-line organizations, are doing everything in their power to keep people safe, including having to shut down our only detox now because too many staff have gotten sick.
Is your department willing to work very closely with provinces to develop national standards for work health and safety, particularly in light of COVID and particularly with an understanding that this is probably the first of many pandemics to come?
Workers deserve to be safe. This is currently not happening. Could I have a response to that? Thank you.
