A Montreal-area MP is in self-isolation after attending a conference in Washington, D.C. where several attendees have since tested positive for COVID-19.
Anthony Housefather, a Liberal who represents the riding of Mount Royal, told CTV News that he received an email telling him that someone from Toronto who attended the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington between March 1-3 has since tested positive for the virus.
“I have been informed…that because I am asymptomatic, no one, including my family, is at an elevated risk of having contracted the virus due to contact with me,” he said in the statement. “I would be sitting there in October, I would hear the first person cough on the other side of the House, and my back would stiffen because I would know: ‘Uh oh, here comes the cold,’” she said.
“It's something that I think government is going to have to think about,” she said. “How do you in a minority government where every vote could potentially be a vote that takes you down, especially in the budget season?”
