Letter to Premier Ford, Deputy Premier Elliott and Dr. Williams regarding the need to collect and use socio-demographic and race-based data
Dear Premier Ford, Deputy Premier Elliott and Dr Williams,
We are alarmed to hear the CMOH of Canada's most populous and diverse province say there is no need to collect data that tracks race and socio-demographic information.
During this turbulent COVID-19 pandemic, we rely on our leaders to boldly take action and put interventions in place that will limit the harms posed by the crisis. This makes the comments made by CMOH Dr. David Williams, during the April 10 COVID briefing all the more troubling.
