Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics. The motion also proposed that various ministers, including those for health, procurement and public safety, be required to appear before the committee separately for three hours each in order to answer questions about the government’s response to COVID-19. Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.

  • Joint Statement Calling for Sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong Officials and Protection for Hong Kongers at Risk of Political Persecution
    Joint statement calling for sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and protection for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to take action in light of the mass arrests and assault on civil rights following the unilateral imposition of the new National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many in Hong Kong fear they will face the same fate as the student protestors in Tiananmen Square, defenders’ lawyers, and millions of interned Uyghurs, Tibetans, and faith groups whose rights of free expression and worship are denied. We urge the Government of Canada to offer a “Safe Harbour Program” with an expedited process to grant protection and permanent residency status to Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution under the National Security Law, including international students and expatriate workers who have been involved in protest actions in Canada. Furthermore, Canada must invoke the Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials who instituted the National Security Law, as well as other acts violating human rights; and to ban them and their immediate family members from Canada and freeze their Canadian assets. Canada needs to work closely with international allies with shared values to institute a strong policy toward China. It is time for Canada to take meaningful action to show leadership on the world stage.
