Health Minister Patty Hajdu is defending the federal government’s national testing strategy as a critical tool for fighting COVID-19, but she says some provinces chose to ignore that guidance as many Canadians who want to get tested are simply unable to.

“I think the thing Canadians can ask themselves is when is the last time they went to the federal government to get a test or to get a medical procedure? Never,” Hajdu told CTV’s Power Play on Friday.

The federal government continues to advise anyone who thinks they may have COVID-19 to contact their local health authority about testing. Ontario’s decision was an abrupt change from its earlier message that anyone who wanted a test could get one.

When the Feds are run by a bunch of Libtards I think 'denying' them is the least of what we should do. stringthemup

The problem when the minister of health understands nothing of what she is supposed to understand because she is a graphic designer!

I live in northern Ontario and getting a test here is nearly impossible. There are no pharmacies north of Huntsville doing testing. Our health unit has very strict criteria for getting tested. It is a joke.

What worse is she denied it was serious and let it into our country. Then she gave away our PPE and is months behind other countries procuring rapid tests even though provinces were begging for them. Even if a weather forecaster was this bad they would have been fired. Horrible

More bs

That’s cause provinces did not want to take your guidance to paint and wallpaper the testing rooms purple.

They decided not to believe PattyHajdu ? I find that shocking and safe.

Based on her track record, I just can’t take her seriously

Hajdu says Conservative provinces are being idiotic. Fixed it for you.

No every province is supposed to be brain washed as fast as Ontario

I'm betting Manitoba is one of them.

The provinces are the reason why we were able to flatten the curve and not overwhelm the healthcare system. Hajdu et al was/still a disaster.

Thats Pandemic Pat.

DLV135 I bet we can guess which ones?

You have a resting ‘ Condescension’ face , Patty. Best keep off camera.

Patty, Patty, Patty. Don’t count on another term.

Can anybody point out a time that PattyHajdu didn't blame something on somebody else? She got called out today by the very civil servants she was blaming yet another one of her failures on and it was long overdue. I am sure somebody will be fired in the next couple days

Feds ignored shutting down borders and infected the country with 3 months advanced notice.

Some federal elected officials failed to close the boarder until it suited them. truth

Just imagine if Dr. Jane Philpott had been health minister through this pandemic. Sigh. fireHajdu cdnpoli COVID19

Hajdu is a joke and should be fired. Her attempts to get people to trust a thoroughly corrupt government are pathetic.

Track records have shown Hajdu, CPHO Tam, and the federal gov't have no clue on how to handle COVID19, and health care is provincial jurisdiction.

Let the finger-pointing begin
