Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his hard work and advocacy for the people of Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia and the Atlantic provinces have been an international leader in slowing community spread of COVID-19, and we have been there to support them from the start. We have sent Nova Scotia 70,992 rapid tests and almost 1.5 million items of personal protective equipment to date. Through the safe restart agreement, Nova Scotia received $290 million to support testing, contact tracing, data gathering and vulnerable people in long-term care.
We have been there for Nova Scotia and we will continue to be there for Nova Scotia.
