A motion to politicize Canada's COVID19 response is today's election threat.

Firms from across the country dropped everything to help save lives by making critical medical goods for every govt in Canada.

Every political stripe, we all did this together. https://twitter.com/FlavioVolpe1/status/1247138558697242625?s=20

In March the entire world faced a critical shortage of life-saving PPE & ventilators. For Canada, all of these items were imported & we faced a grave situation.

I challenged auto suppliers to step up & they responded overwhelmingly and immediately. /2 https://canada.autonews.com/coronavirus/parts-association-boss-challenges-members-make-medical-equipment-during-pandemic?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Now this motion threatens to politicize to biggest industrial mobilization of Canadian industry in its history.

There are firm levers to compel disclosure at any time of any business any govt is conducting with industry.

This motion isn't necessary. /3 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/conservative-motion-health-committee-covid19-minority-government-1.5772247

Canada's response to the COVID19 crisis was lauded around the world because we did not politicize what we needed to do, we just did it.

Urgently.

Together.

Safely.

If we are going to politicize it, call me as the first witness.

I dare you.
