From: Department of Finance Canada Today, the Honourable Mona Fortier, Minister of Middle Class Prosperity and Associate Minister of Finance, and the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health, met virtually with health care organizations and associations from across Canada to hear their ideas about how Budget 2021 can continue to support the health and safety of Canadians through the pandemic. The discussion and ideas shared with Minister Fortier and Minister Hajdu during the round table will also help the government ensure an inclusive, equitable and resilient recovery that leaves no one behind. Protecting the health and safety of Canadians is the government’s top priority as it continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Crucial to this work is the heroic dedication of Canada’s health care professionals, who are working on the frontlines of this crisis.
