Hello everyone.

This week, we celebrate the women and men who work tirelessly, and make a difference in the lives of families from coast to coast to coast.

I’m talking about Canada’s nurses.

They’re on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19.

From hospitals and medical centres, to care homes and mental health services, our nurses go to work every day and put themselves in harm’s way to keep the rest of us safe and healthy.

Your hard work and unwavering dedication to your patients, and your communities, is what will get us through this pandemic.

And we’re here for you.

We’re doing everything possible to make sure you have the supplies and PPE you need to stay safe and healthy.

We will get through this difficult period because we’re all in this together.

On behalf of a grateful country,

thank you.
