We had scheduled a call on Tuesday, October 15 to talk about an amendment to the Canadian Criminal Code which makes it a more serious offence if a person assaults a health care worker at work. This amendment passed through the House of Commons unanimously and is now in before a committee of the Senate.
We have decided to do an in-person lobby of the senators on that committee, which will happen in early November, and so we will cancel the Zoom on October 15 and reschedule that call after that has taken place.
