Mr. Speaker, for months the COVID pandemic has ravaged our economy. Nine thousand Canadians have lost their lives, many more are hospitalized and we now know that, last year, the health minister shut down Canada's pandemic early-warning system, if members can imagine. When former Liberal health minister Ujjal Dosanjh heard this, he called the minister's actions \u201ca colossal failure\u201d.

\n

Why did the minister shut down the system, and does she not realize that the early-warning system could have saved many lives?

Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, au cours des derniers mois, la pand\u00e9mie de la COVID a ravag\u00e9 notre \u00e9conomie. Neuf mille Canadiens ont perdu la vie, et beaucoup d'autres sont hospitalis\u00e9s. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s auront peut-\u00eatre peine \u00e0 le croire, mais nous savons maintenant que, l'an dernier, la ministre de la Sant\u00e9 a mis fin au syst\u00e8me d'alerte rapide du Canada en cas de pand\u00e9mie. Lorsque l'ancien ministre lib\u00e9ral de la Sant\u00e9, Ujjal Dosanjh, a entendu cela, il a qualifi\u00e9 la d\u00e9cision de la ministre d'\u00ab \u00e9chec colossal \u00bb.

Pourquoi la ministre a-t-elle mis un terme au syst\u00e8me, et ne se rend-elle pas compte que cet outil aurait pu sauver de nombreuses vies?
