Madam Speaker, in British Columbia, where I am from, the numbers are going up, and nurses, health care providers and doctors are crying out for relief. They are exhausted. They are making decisions in their provision of health care that they never thought they would have to make and it is extremely stressful.
One of the challenges is that low-income people who need to work to pay for basic necessities do not have access to paid sick leave during COVID or at any other time. I am wondering if the member could speak to addressing this issue in a fulsome way not only for COVID, but also going into the future.
