 Nurses are at the heart of our Canadian healthcare systems and at the heart of our communities. They are the smiling faces who greet us at hospitals and clinics. They are the calming voice helping us through our toughest days. They are the ones caring for our parents, family members and loved ones in their darkest moments. This week we celebrate their hard work and success and we thank them for their sacrifice and dedication to our communities and our country. This has been a very challenging year for our nurses. COVID-19 has drastically changed the conditions of their workplace, but through it all they've had Canadians backs. So we need to continue to have theirs. That's why our government will continue to do whatever it takes to make sure they have the supplies and equipment they need to stay safe. But we all have a role to play in supporting their work. The best way for us all to protect our nurses is to follow public health guidelines, wash our hands, keep two metres apart from each other, wear a mask, stay home as much as we can and get our vaccine when it's our turn. If we all do our part, we will defeat this virus. To all the nurses out there serving our communities and helping people, thank you. We are so grateful for you and as a country we owe you so much. So once again, thank you for everything you do.
