کووید-19

فهرست بالا بلند وزیران و وکیلان

تعدادی از سیاستمداران کانادایی از نماینده مجالس فدرال و استانی گرفته تا وزیر کابینه بی خیال دستورالعملها و توصیه های مراجع پزشکی کشور شدند و به سفرهای غیر ضروری به خارج از کانادا رفتند تا تعطیلات سال نو را خوشتر از دیگران بگذرانند ـ البته یکی دو نفرشان به عیادت بستگان بیمارشان رفته بودند.

همزمان با آنها، ساکنان شهرها و استانها که این نمایندگان را به پارلمان فرستاده اند، در اجرای توصیه ها و دستورالعملهای همین آقایان و خانمها و همکارانشان، در خانه ماندند تا از پخش ویروس جهشی کووید کاسته شود.

قابل تامل اینکه در همین ایام دائم از ظهور و شیوع گونه های جهش یافته ویروس کووید در کشورهای دیگر خبر می رسد.

فهرستی از این نمایندگان را به نقل از کندین پرس در اینجا برایتان درج می کنیم:

راد فیلیپس

همانطور که سلام تورنتو آنلاین چند روز پیش به آگاهی رساند راد فیلیپس وزیر دارایی انتاریو برای دو هفته تعطیلات به جزایر کارائیب رفته بود. او در 13 دسامبر در هوای آفتابی کارائیب فرود آمد اما هنگام برگشت در پنجشنبه گذشته وقتی در انتاریو از هواپیما خارج شد دریافت که طوفانی از انتقادات و اعتراضات علیه او به هوا برخاسته. او معذرت خواهی کرد، اما کافی نبود و مجبور به استعفا شد.

نیکی اشتون

او که نماینده حزب نیودموکرات در پارلمان کانادا و وزیر سایه نیودموکراتها است، برای عیادت از مادر بزرگ بیمارش به یونان رفته بود، که این سفر ضروری محسوب می شود.

حزب نیودموکرات اما در بیانیه ای گفت نیکی اشتون که از مسئولان کشور درخواست کرده بود که بهترین عملکرد را داشته باشند خودش نباید بدون اطلاع جگمیت سینگ رهبر حزب به این سفر می رفت، بخصوص که میلیونها کانادایی سعی دارند تحت مقررات شدید لاک دان در خانه بمانند.

کمال خیرا

این خانم که نماینده لیبرال در پارلمان کاناداست روز یکشنبه از پست دستیار وزیر توسعه بین الملل استعفا کرد؛ علت استعفا سفر او در ایام تعطیلات به سیاتل در آمریکا بود. او که نماینده برمپتون انتاریو در پارلمان است گفت برای شرکت در مراسم یادبود پدر و عمویش که به فاصله کمی از هم در گذشتند به سیاتل رفته بود.

سمیه زوبیری

او نماینده لیبرال پارلمان از مونتریال است که برای دیدار با پدر بزرگ زنش که بیمار است به دلور آمریکا رفته بود. او هم از پست عضویت در کمیته پارلمان استعفا کرد.

پیر آرکاندی

رهبر سابق حزب لیبرال کبک به اتفاق همسرش به تعطیلات در باربادوس رفته بود.

جو هارگرید

وزیر بزرگراههای استان ساسکاچوان ـ معذرت خواهی به خاطر سفر به کالیفرنیا

تریسی آلارد

وزیر شهرداریهای آلبرتا، او به سفر هاوایی رفته بود

جرمی نیکسون

نماینده مجلس آلبرتا، او به سفر هاوایی رفته بود

پت رین

نماینده مجلس آلبرتا ـ معذرت خواهی برای سفر خانوادگی به مکزیک

فهرست کاملتر به قرار زیر است:

ROD PHILLIPS

When Rod Phillips jetted off for a sunny Caribbean vacation on Dec. 13, he touched off a political storm that engulfed him when he returned home to Ontario.

Phillips resigned as the province’s finance minister on Dec. 31, hours after returning from a two-week trip in St. Barts.

Phillips, who will remain a member of the provincial legislature, called the decision a “significant error in judgement.”

His apology did little to assuage criticism against Premier Doug Ford for not taking action when he first learned of the cabinet minister’s travels shortly after Phillips left for warmer climates.

NIKI ASHTON

The federal New Democrats stripped the veteran member of Parliament of her cabinet critic positions after she travelled to Greece to visit her seriously ill grandmother.

The party released a statement on Jan. 1 saying Greek officials, who currently only permit visitors to enter the country if they can prove their trip is essential, approved Ashton’s visit.

The party said Ashton, who represents the riding of Churchill-Keewatinook Aski, reached out to Canadian officials for “best practices,” but did not notify leader Jagmeet Singh or the party whip of her travel plans.

The statement said party members sympathize with Ashton’s situation, but noted millions of Canadians adhered to public health guidelines under similarly pressing circumstances.

KAMAL KHERA

The federal Liberal MP announced Sunday she was stepping down from her role as parliamentary secretary to the minister of international development after travelling to Seattle over the holidays.

The MP representing the Ontario riding of Brampton West says she flew to Seattle on Dec. 23 to attend a small memorial service for her uncle and father, who died within weeks of each other earlier in the year.

Khera has been back in Canada since the end of December.

_

SAMEER ZUBERI

The Liberal member of Parliament announced Sunday that he would step down from his committee roles after travelling to Delaware to be with his wife’s ill grandfather.

Zuberi, who represents the Montreal riding of Pierrefonds-Dollard, said in a statement posted to Twitter that the trip was an “error in judgment.”

He said he returned to Canada on New Year’s Eve, and is abiding by the mandatory two-week quarantine.

_

PIERRE ARCAND

The former imterim head of Quebec’s Liberal party expressed regret last month over his decision to vacation in Barbados with his wife.

Dominique Anglade, who currently heads the party, said she asked Arcand to return to Canada after word of his Caribbean travels got out.

Anglade told a Quebec radio station that she had known Arcand planned to leave and had tried to discourage him from doing so.

Arcand apologized for making the trip in his Dec. 29 statement.

_

YOURI CHASSIN

The member of the governing Coalition Avenir Quebec is currently in Peru visiting his husband, who he said he has not seen in about a year.

Chassin said in an interview that his trip is not a vacation and that he does not believe it contradicts the Quebec government’s message of the need to follow public health guidelines.

He said he got permission from the government whip and Premier Francois Legault’s office before leaving.

_

JOE HARGRAVE

Saskatchewan’s highways minister apologized on Jan. 1 for travelling to California over the holidays, but gets to keep his seat in cabinet.

Hargrave said he went to Palm Springs for “necessary” personal business: finalizing a home sale and moving his belongings back to Saskatchewan.

He said he plans to return to Canada when he’s out of a 14-day quarantine recommended for travelers to California on Jan. 5, and will self-isolate for two weeks upon his return to Canada.

While Opposition politicians have questioned whether Hargrave’s trip was essential, Premier Scott Moe said he will stay on as minister despite his self-admitted “error in judgement.”

Moe was informed of Hargrave’s trip before he left on Dec. 22, a spokesman for the Saskatchewan Party government said.

TRACY ALLARD

A Hawaiian vacation from Alberta’s municipal affairs minister touched off not only a new directive from the province’s premier, but a spate of other revelations about holiday excursions by several of her cohorts in the United Conservative government.

Shortly after Allard’s trip came to light, Premier Jason Kenney issued a directive summoning caucus members and senior staff back to the province.

Kenney said he ought to have issued such orders sooner, but said Allard and other party members who went abroad will not face sanctions as they did not violate any firm rules.

Allard held a New Year’s Day news conference in which she apologized for taking the trip, describing the Hawaiian vacation as a long-standing family tradition.

JEREMY NIXON

The MLA for the Alberta riding of Calgary-Klein also opted to jet off to Hawaii over the Christmas break.

A spokesman for Kenney said he had been asked to return home on the earliest possible flight

Nixon said in a Facebook post that he would “work hard” to regain constituents’ trust, adding he followed and followed public health guidelines while abroad.

PAT REHN

Nixon’s legislative colleague, representing Lesser Slave Lake, spent part of the weekend returning from a “previously planned family trip” to Mexico.

He, too, apologized for his travels via Facebook.

_

TANYA FIR

Another social media apology came from yet another Calgary-area MLA after it was revealed she travelled to the United States to visit her sister.

The representative for the riding of Calgary-Peigan commended Alberta residents for their adherence to public health protocols in the face of the pandemic.

She said in a Facebook post that she apologized “wholeheartedly” for not doing the same and pledged to abide by Kenney’s new directive.

_

JASON STEPHAN

The MLA for Red Deer-South in Alberta struck a different tone in his Facebook post in which he disclosed a recent trip to Phoenix, Ariz.

Stephan said he felt he was in compliance with public health guidelines and noted he had never asked other provincial residents to forego travel.

But Stephan said he would return home in accordance with Kenney’s directive.

“There is already too much contention in our society and I regret if my actions have contributed to that,” he wrote.

_

TANY YAO

A spokesman for the United Conservative Party caucus says the MLA for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo in Alberta is currently in Mexico, and party officials haven’t been able to reach him.

Tim Gerwing says the party is still trying to contact Yao to tell him about the premier’s directive to return home.
