“A disabled man in my riding was promised $26,000 for medical costs, but the government has not paid him. He is broke and losing his home. I want the minister to create a way to help urgent cases like this right now.”
“Madam Speaker, my constituent suffered a debilitating vaccine injury. He is in constant pain and permanently disabled. Oxaro approved his $26,000 medical and home support costs back in February. He has yet to be reimbursed. He is now broke and being evicted. The health minister says to contact the Public Health Agency of Canada. PHAC says it is in transition and will not even look at the file until July. This is unacceptable. My constituent will be homeless and may not survive if he does not get help now. Will the minister immediately put in place a system to address urgent cases?”
