Internal emails show that even some Liberal party members are having trouble keeping faith in Prime Minister Trudeau's pandemic relief plan throughout the months, according to Blacklock's Reporter.
In a series of internal emails, Liberal MP Dr. Marcus Powlowski wrote that it was "hard to have faith" in Trudeau when it came to acquiring ventilators:
"It is hard to have faith we are addressing the issue of procuring ventilators as soon as we have to, because I spoke to the owners of the two companies that actually make things in Canada," he wrote in a March 22 email to the Deputy Government House Leader.
"I am sorry if the party may be pissed off I actually talked to companies but I have reason to doubt preparedness," the email continued. "We should have moved on this over a month ago. Over the weekend nothing has happened. Sorry, pandemics don't take the weekend off."
"What can the relevant ministries tell me to reassure the health care workers that we are doing everything we can to get those masks?" he wrote on June 7.
The next day, Powlowski wrote: "Is there no one mass producing N95 masks yet in Canada?"
Dr. Powlowski, who served as a former consultant to the World Health Organization, also writes that the amount of red tape in the process had made things so non-transparent that it had become ineffective.
"I, and I think a lot of people, would have more faith in our ability to do this quickly and effectively if we know there is a transparent process as to how we are doing things," wrote Powlowski, reports Blacklock's Reporter.
"As I have said, it is hard now to accept reassurances that we are prepared, that we are doing all of the right things, when we can never, ever get any specifics as to what we are doing and how we are going to do it."
"I don't mean to offend the members of the Canadian government bureaucracy but no one is an expert in what we are dealing with," he wrote. "We need to make sure we are getting the best advice."
Powlowski, who also holds two law degrees, works as a doctor in the Thunder Bay area and has in the past stood in stark contrast to the positions held by the Liberal Party.
Powlowski stood in opposition to Bill C-7, the Trudeau government's medical assistance in dying bill (MAID.)
Powlowski believed that passing the legislation would make it too easy for people with temporary depression to end their lives.
"I have a bit of background with this kind of issue. I have been working with people who are dying for most of my life, so I think I come at this from a particular vantage point that probably no other member of parliament has," Powlowski said in an interview in December.
"The way it is written at the moment, it would allow somebody with a chronic disability, who was transiently depressed because their life wasn't good, to undergo MAID when, had they had a longer period of time, it would have come around."
Powlowski gave examples of how the law could end lives prematurely, creating a hypothetical of someone who had become paralyzed from an injury: "You're going to be severely depressed as a result of that injury, and you may well want to die. The legislation only requires you to wait 90 days from the time you request MAID. But it may well be that it takes a longer time for you to realize there is still reason to live."
