He says there is nothing more important than a worker feeling safe while they’re on the job.

Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates brought up the importance of personal protective equipment, while in Queens Park yesterday.

“We’ve heard it from the front lines: They need more PPE and they need the right PPE. When will these front-line heroes get the equipment they need to stay safe themselves when they’re keeping us safe?”

We have 620 cases of COVID-19 in Niagara and Public Health says more than 22 percent of them work in the health care system.

Gates is the Critic for Workplace Health and Safety for the Official Opposition.
