Asked by NDP @AndreaHorwath about plan for second wave, Health Minister @celliottability says Ontario has had a fall plan since July 30, ready to roll it out “imminently.”
“Why in this very moment have we yet to see a plan?” Horwath asks. #onpoli
Elliott says Ontario is rolling out some of its plan now...completing 40K tests now, says govt has increased testing in some regions with long lines.
We heard before from government that Ontario was releasing a fall plan at any moment; today the minister says it's actually being rolled out as we speak, citing increased testing #s. There's been no official plan or document released publicly. #onpoli
Horwath asks about this story: theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Minister Fullerton says there is a "situation" of outbreaks in Ottawa, "taking every measure possible." Fullerton cites April action plan on infection control, calls it a "misunderstanding."
Horwath accuses Ford of "campaigning" this summer instead of prepare for second wave in LTC homes.
Only 3 homes out of 636 have more than 3 COVID cases, Fullerton says.
Fullerton says West End villa in Ottawa (which now has 50 resident cases, 27 staff cases, and 11 deaths) and has PPE it needs, including N95s.
Oof. Not sure what just happened. but the Speaker just asked Premier @fordnation to withdraw his unparliamentary remark in QP. "Who me?" Premier asks. Says he doesn't know what he said but he withdraws.
