The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) has issued a plea for a number of what it calls "unprecedented" measures to address rising COVID-19 numbers in many provinces across the country. In a news release issued today, the CMA said it wants to see a marshalling of national resources, national collaboration between provinces and territories and more restrictive public health measures. Trudeau also acknowledged the call to relocate health care workers according to need. "I know there's also been discussions about health care resources from other provinces turning towards Ontario," he said. "We don't have a health care system in this country — we have 14 health care systems in this country," he said, adding that issues could arise with respect to professional licensing across provinces.
