The following is the message from Ontario's Minister of Health and Long Term Care, Honourable Tony Clement,
in support of the "Hong Kong and Canada Fight Against SARS" nation-wide electronic signature campaign (English only):
I want to thank all the health care workers in Ontario and Hong Kong for their stellar performance in battling the SARS outbreak. From emergency workers, such as firefighters and policemen, to doctors and nurses, to respiratory therapists, to every volunteer who has screened incoming traffic at hospitals - you have all demonstrated heroic qualities. Your commitment, dedication and compassion truly make health care professionals role models and everyday heroes. As the Minister of Health and Long Term Care and as a father of three young children, thank you for what you have done since SARS landed in Ontario and in Hong Kong.
