We're calling on the federal government to direct billions more in funding to mount wartime efforts to:

- Buy all available protective gear and ventilator equipment from other countries;
- Increase the supply of hand sanitizer, cleaning supplies and medications;
- Increase the supply of tests for COVID19.

Increase funding to our healthcare system and mount a wartime effort to deliver much-needed protective gear and hospital equipment now.
