For the second time in a week, Singh asked Trudeau to declare a federal emergency in Canada, which would allow the feds to issue orders and reallocate funding quickly following a Parliamentary review.
Singh also shared a clip of him addressing Trudeau in the House of Commons. "The third wave of COVID-19 is hitting Ontario hard. It is a disaster," he told the PM.
He asked Trudeau to use the Emergencies Act to "make sure people who need the vaccine actually get it and make sure we've got a paid sick leave that actually works."
"The stakes could not be higher," the NDP leader concluded in a follow-up tweet.
