Mr. Speaker, my question is for the very busy Minister of Health.
Every day ambulance workers and firefighters risk their lives for Canadians. They also risk exposure to infectious diseases
from the people they rescue. When this happens they want to be notified so that they and their families can seek quick treatment.
A workshop was set up to establish a process to give emergency workers this vital information but now the minister's department says the workshop will not be going ahead, even though all stakeholders have agreed that things could be worked out quickly. My question is why.
