The agency paid a total of $319,167 on March 12 to host delegates at an Ottawa convention, a day after the World Health Organization declared the pandemic

“The meeting in question was the biannual Canadian Immunization Conference,” said Natalie Mohamed, spokesman for the agency. “A deposit was to be paid by March 31. The process to award the contract and pay the deposit was already underway when the pandemic was declared.”“We are in discussions with the vendor to renegotiate dates,” she said.

On March 11, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had asked the public to stay home and find ways to work from home to “prevent from overburdening the health care system.”We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Two days later, Tam invoked a ban on all non-essential travel and large gatherings. “That means reconsidering your vacations, going to sporting and entertainment events, large international conferences,” said Tam. “We need to help as many Canadians as possible to stay healthy. One way to do that is through social distancing.”

This is now our culture of the distinction of the government and the people, the privileged and doers...

Shouldn’t have been paid if they were telling us to cancel all travel and gathers the day before

When was the event to take place?

The most sanctimonious government we have ever had.

aclem80 Yay? 🤔

Can’t we just drag JustinTrudeau out of his lil cottage. Put him on trial for being a traitor to Canada. Then hang his a$$ from the flag pole on the hill 🤔 asking for a friend 😁🤪 TrudeauMustGo TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauCorruption

And once again we see the morons are in charge

joellehamilto10 More wasteful spending by liberals ..

Imagine that, Liberals speaking out of both sides of their collective mouth.

Ffs

They need to be investigated and charge of found guilty

Fake news!

JustinTrudeau why haven’t you fired CPHO_Canada yet? She has proven to be utterly useless time and time again. Just like you. You both should resign. People are dead and economic destruction for generations because u both were worried about racism instead of taking action.

Evil

You mean to tell me there is wasteful spending in government 😱. Who would of thought 🤔.

So typically stupid of the Lib party, mean while everything is cancelled, go figure.

Was it sham tam?

Canadians like to be told what to do. Just go along with whatever. No critical thought involved.

They should all be summarily fired. StillNotReady

Just another liar Henry imo

Oh look more wasted money brought to you by JustinTrudeau and CPHO_Canada 🙄

onlyafewcows 🙏🇨🇦🙏

What a non story. You’d be saying something of interest if they had actually held the event.

Dr. Tam do you have a response now to my original post I sent back in Jan. when I told you all to stop taking a laid back approach to the Coronavirus the way you all did when SARS? TOPublicHealth

Doctors and health professionals signed a letter stating that socializing because of good things is OK, COVID was programmed to know. Only protesting against progressive ideals increases risk of infection. Symptoms range depending on level of conservative ideals held by the SICK.

Remember this TOPublicHealth CPHO_Canada When you all responded to my tweet when I warned you all that the Coronavirus was going to get worse & that you all weren't doing enough. Here is Public Health's reply to me back in Jan. 2020.

CPHO_Canada Dr. Tam your analogy today comparing COVID19 to a forest fire was pathetic. Just saying. More evidence as to how you all didn't have your priorities in order in the mist of a pandemic.
