While Justin Trudeau focuses on triggering an election, the NDP wants urgent help for Canadians amid the second wave of COVID-19

Jack Harris, NDP Critic for Foreign Affairs, made the following statement: “Today, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons becomes international law, without Canada's signature.

OTTAWA – The second wave of COVID-19 is making the lives of Canadians harder. People need help and the Liberal government is failing families who are losing their livelihood and struggling to keep their loved ones safe from the spread of the virus. Today, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he is ready to go back to Parliament next week and keep fighting for people who need help now.

OTTAWA – During this pandemic, too many Canadians are forced to choose between going to work sick or going without income and staying home. In the last few weeks, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has consulted health care experts, workers, provincial and municipal counterparts on the importance of sick leave to stop the spread of COVID-19. Singh has called on the Liberal government to make it easier for people to access the sick leave program and get help more quickly.

 

Don Davies, NDP Health Critic, made the following statement:

VANCOUVER- Today, after the Procurement Minister confirmed production issues will reduce Pfizer's ability to deliver vaccines to Canada, New Democrats are again calling on the government to give Canadians more information about the deals they have signed with big pharmaceutical companies.

While the Liberals let rich companies off the hook, they’re going after Canadians for the Liberal’s own mistake

VANCOUVER - Today, NDP Health Critic Don Davies called for a stronger, more effective federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic in light of alarming new modelling released by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
