After Parliamentary members returned to Ottawa on Monday, Sault MP Terry Sheehan provided updates on the federal healthcare situation, a local supervised consumption site, and the Sault’s status in a bid to host the Canada Water Agency
Sault Ste. Marie Liberal MP Terry Sheehan was back in Ottawa on Monday as Parliament returned to its regular proceedings for the first time in 2023.
Sheehan says one way the Liberal party is looking to improve healthcare is by committing to bringing in more doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals from abroad. “I’m going to work with this group to try and use immigration to attract doctors and nurses for the many people who don’t have them. We see that as an opportunity; to use our immigration tools to attract those people to continue to work. Some of them are already here, but they need to get accredited.”
“The premiers want to see more money, and we want to see some standards and accountability in that spending,” Sheehan says. “We want to make sure the money we give them for healthcare goes into healthcare.” “Too many people are dying of overdoses in the Sault and surrounding area,” he says. “When you look at the stats of a supervised consumption site, it has saved a lot of lives in Canada.”
“The provincial government has an important role to play in this,” Sheehan says. “The province has to support the funding and operations, so that’s what we’re working on. We’ve agreed to continue to chat and work with the mayor and healthcare professionals.”
