Feds continue to seek masks, other PPE after admitting stockpile 'likely' not enough

OTTAWA -- As the government admits it "likely did not have enough" personal protective equipment like masks stockpiled ahead of this pandemic, it has pushed forward with aggressively procuring more.

As a result, reports emerged of front-line workers being forced to ration and reuse items like masks as they care for patients with COVID-19. Public Services and Procurement Minister Anita Anand said on Tuesday the government had secured more than 157,000,000 surgical masks. On Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland added that the government has ordered an additional 65,000,000 N95 masks.

Hajdu confirmed Canada is the process of shipping 174 ventilators, while they've pushed to order many more. Anand said on Tuesday the government had ordered 1,570 ventilators from companies both within Canada and around the word -- and they're looking to order an additional 4,000 if needed.Despite the fact that Canada has concluded over 260,000 tests for COVID-19, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says "we need more lab testing.

Trump just inacted the 'P' policy on 3M. They were caught selling through brokers to the highest bidders around the world. So 3M has been reigned in so they can only sale in the US. US first, Trumps had enough of Globalist profiting off this.

....tie the long hair back! Notice whose is tied back!

Try some more in depth reporting...moving forward now suggest some Canadian celeb’s try this?-Patriots' Team Jet Bringing 1.2 Million Masks from China Arrives In Boston via TMZ

You are not funny you...

'likely'... what weasels... actually that's an insult to weasels.

The Liberals are so generous they have gave all mask to countries in need...Canadians will need to see their own...This virus was not supposed to hit us..That's why they let international flight comming in..

They tell us masks don't work. But say they work for health professionals. Now they tell us, where a scarf if you don't have a mask.

Several forecasts show American fatalities at 25% to 30% Canada forecasts 12% urban, native and remote villages up to 85%

So Trudeau LIED AND TOLD US WE HAD ENOUGH AND GAVE AWAY 16 TONNES OF PPE WE VITALLY NEED NOW.... Why don’t they arrest the idiotic PM who GAVE AWAY 16 tonnes of PPE a couple of weeks ago...it’s criminal negligence...!!!!!

Wow, I'm surprised, our Prime Minister and his Health Minister have been telling us all along that Canada is ready and we nothing to worry about. Just like they listened to the advice of the WHO, which by way, threw the whole world into a leaking boat with no life jackets.

The “Feds”? I thought it was PattyHajdu ?

You mean, feds continue to drop the ball... ⚾️🥎🎾⚽️🏀🏐

Well Canada stockpile was most likely enough until Trudeau gave it to China.

Come on now Our stockpile was out dated ( where is that news article) Then our government gave tons to China after the WHO told countries to get prepared Truth please 🇨🇦⚖🇨🇦

Maybe justin and his pack of idiots shouldn't have sent 16 tonnes of supplies to China.

Weren’t they just telling us how prepared they were? They just say whatever they want because they know the Canadian media are filled with a bunch of bottom-feeding presstitutes who’ll unquestioningly and uncritically repeat anything they say.
