Health

In the debate titled 'Health,' MPs discussed the government's COVID-19 vaccine injury support program. The Conservatives criticized that a government contractor was paid $54 million with little results, while the Liberals said they've made changes to ensure proper use of funds. Despite the serious nature of the issue, much of the time was spent on finger-pointing and defending actions, rather than productive solutions.

“I'm attacking the government for spending $54 million with little to no results. Only 252 out of tens of thousands of vaccine-injured people were helped. I want to know when the victims will get their money.”
