Mr. Speaker, today we learned from The Globe and Mail that even after the Ebola epidemic had broken out in West Africa, even after the World Health Organization was pleading with governments all over the world to step forward and start helping to provide protective gear, the Conservative Minister of Health was auctioning off protective medical ware on a government discount website.
While people in Africa are dying by the thousands, why was the Conservative government getting rid of urgently needed medical supplies for a fraction of their value?
