Vaccine Delays and Systemic Racism in Health Care – January 28, 2021

Scrums, news conferences, committees, conferences – highlights from the working day in Canadian politics: During Question Period, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland responds to questions concerning the government’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and more. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh speaks with reporters on Parliament Hill about Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine supply, the situation in long-term care homes, and the resignation of Julie Payette as governor general amid allegations of a toxic work environment at Rideau Hall. Federal ministers Marc Miller (Indigenous services), Carolyn Bennett (Crown-Indigenous relations) and Patty Hajdu (health) hold a virtual news conference at the conclusion of two days of discussions aimed at eliminating anti-Indigenous racism in the healthcare system. The federal government held virtual meetings with Indigenous leaders, provincial and territorial health ministers, and health experts. Miller convened an emergency meeting last October on the same issue following the death of Joyce Echaquan in a Quebec hospital on September 28. The 37-year-old Atikamekw woman recorded a video from her hospital bed before her death that showed hospital staff making racist and insulting comments about her.
