Madam Chair, as a public health practitioner for 35 years, I know there is a lot of concern among health practitioners, front-line workers. I worked in an emergency room for a lot of years. What are we doing in terms of PPE?
Globally, I think over 8,000 health care workers have died as a result of COVID-19. Obviously, in Canada, despite all the criticism, we have done a little better. A lot of people in the health care profession have not been infected, but what has our government done with respect to PPE? How much money have we put into it? What did we have and when did we start to address the problem of PPE for health care workers?
