“It is important we acknowledge the extraordinary work and courage that has been shown from healthcare workers, nurses, doctors, personal support workers, cleaning crews, maintenance workers and administrative staff. The frontline workers and their families at Burnaby General Hospital have made tremendous sacrifices to keep our health care system operational throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. They are frontline heroes who keep our community healthy and safe. Thank you,” said Singh.
“Every day, healthcare workers are on the front-line working incredibly hard to take care of us. They get up every morning—or every evening, to care for people with COVID-19 and the rest of our community. All frontline care providers are putting their lives at risk while taking care of us. It is vitally important to pay tribute to all health care workers, and we’ll fight to make sure they have what they need to stay safe,” Julian stated.

NDP Heritage Critic Peter Julian issued the following statement:
“Today’s announcement by Hockey Canada is another attempt to delay the important and urgent work to deal with the toxic culture in this organization. While a former Supreme Court Justice is a credible appointment to conduct the review into Hockey Canada, this won’t be the first time the organization undergoes this process.
NDP critic for Canadian Heritage, Peter Julian, made the following statement:
“Canadians are horrified by the incidents of sexual assault and by what they’re hearing from Hockey Canada. They are left with many questions about how this toxic culture is allowed to persist in our sports organizations and what the government is actually doing to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
