Mr. Speaker, the government assured Canadians our health system was well-prepared to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak.
However, HealthCareCAN, the advocacy group for Canada's hospitals, is warning our system is stretched too thin, with dangerous shortages of critical care beds and protective equipment. It is calling for increased federal funding and much more testing.
Today, the first death from the virus in BC was confirmed and we know things will get worse before they get better.
Will the Liberals ensure hospitals have the resources they need to respond to COVID-19?
