Bill No. 105 - Protecting Access to Health Services Act - 2nd reading

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Like my colleagues, I look forward to passing this legislation today. Our caucus is in support of this legislation. I'll note that one of the changes, which is to protect executive decision makers at their place of residence, is something - we also contemplated protecting physicians at their residence in the original bubble Act, which was passed by all members of this House a couple of years ago. I think we can all agree that people should be free from that kind of interference.

I think we talk a lot about health care providers, but we also acknowledge that the people who have been making the decisions - particularly those in the last few years who have taken us through this pandemic - we owe them a debt of gratitude. I'm sure it's taken years off their lives, so whatever we can do to make things a little easier for them, I think it's within our power and within our duty to do that. With those few words, I'll take my seat.
