Tell Trudeau: a national emergency requires a national response.

Canada urgently needs a national strategy to tackle the pandemic.

We are living through a second wave of the pandemic, with record levels of daily cases. It is time for us to listen to medical experts who are calling for increased cooperation and collaboration between different levels of government to ensure that Canadians are protected.

That is why Green Party Leader Annamie Paul is calling for an intergovernmental COVID-19 task force — made up of health and medical experts from federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government — that will create a national strategy to tackle this national emergency.

Greens are offering strong leadership on this front, but the government isn't listening.

Add your name now to call on the government to strike an intergovernmental COVID-19 task force to create a national strategy to tackle the pandemic.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Health Patty Hajdu,

Canada urgently needs a coordinated pandemic strategy.

The pandemic is hitting us hard on all fronts, and the mixed messages coming from municipal, provincial or territorial and federal governments, on how people can best protect themselves and their communities, are confusing and are putting lives at risk.  People’s lives are on the line – we cannot afford to continue our current approach.

Green Party Leader Annamie Paul is calling on your government to support a coordinated national approach to testing, tracing, clear messaging and vaccination distribution by convening an intergovernmental COVID-19 task force made up of federal, provincial, and municipal health officials.

Many of our international peers (countries such as New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia) have adopted successful national approaches for their pandemic response.

Canada must do the same, which is why I am calling on the federal government to create an intergovernmental COVID-19 task force to create a national strategy to bring the pandemic under control.

The task force should bring together health and medical experts from every level of government to develop a coordinated national pandemic response, including:
-Setting infection rate thresholds which trigger moving into and out of restrictions
-Unifying zone coding system to complement the infection rate thresholds
-Establishing national testing and tracing protocols
-Coordinating clear and consistent messaging on the use of personal protective equipment.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a national emergency and demands a coordinated national response. We can no longer afford further delays. I am asking you to take action now.
