Health

During question period on health, members discussed support for Canadians injured by COVID-19 vaccines. Conservatives said injured people who followed government mandates are facing lost income and permanent injuries, described the vaccine injury support program as a failure, noted that of $56 million paid to contractor Oxaro about $36 million went to administration and roughly $20 million to injured people, and asked when the government will provide fuller financial support, citing the tainted blood compensation programs as a comparison. Liberal members said vaccines save lives but that some people were harmed, and responded that the government has brought the vaccine injury program in-house after hearing frustrations with the third-party administration and launched a new program, and will work with all parties to make sure injured Canadians get support.Written by AI from the debate.
