House of Commons debate over Alberta COVID-19 outbreak sees blame, no solutions
House of Commons debate on the worsening COVID-19 situation in Alberta Wednesday evening saw the Liberal government voice their concern, but offer no new funding or solutions to deal with the problem.The emergency debate was called by Edmonton New Democrat MP Heather McPherson to discuss how the federal government could help the province, which is seeing a higher rate of infection than any other jurisdiction in North America.But Minister of Health Patty Hajdu and other Liberal cabinet members only pointed to existing federal response programs and the steady growth of the vaccine rollout to help the provincial response, while repeating calls for the public to follow current health restrictions.
