I listened to the member, and I know he talked specifically about long-term care, the health care system, some of the front-line workers. I have spoken with many paramedics recently who told me about the mental health crisis they’ve been going through over the past couple of years especially and how it has increased. Some of them can’t even go back to work because of the struggle they’re facing. Then obviously what we’re seeing with our health care crisis and the need for staffing, which really is the biggest problem with our health care—it’s not the need for privatization, let’s be honest.

My question to the member is, why is the government fighting health care workers in court, wasting tax dollars, taxpayers’ money on court cases, battling health care workers once again when we are facing a health care crisis?
