Drug makers, importers and health officials are talking daily in efforts to manage the ongoing shortage of pain and fever medication for children in Canada as supply ramps up in the face of unprecedented demand.
OTTAWA—
There is also another shipment of analgesics on the way from Australia destined for hospitals, and domestic manufacturing is increasing, with one maker of the drugs doubling its production in the month of November.The current shortage has been attributed to a spike in viral illnesses that began in the spring, when demand for products like children’s Advil and Tylenol is generally low and manufacturers tend not to have robust supplies in stock.
Three viruses circulating — RSV, influenza and COVID-19 — have health experts saying Canada is now experiencing a “tripledemic” that is also pushing hospitalization rates for children to record highs for this time of year.

Minister Duclos down a deputy chief of staff, up a press secretaryHealth Minister Jean-Yves Duclos recently bid farewell to his deputy chief of staff, Karl Sasseville, who has left Parliament Hill after more than five-and-a-half years working in the federal political trenches. Sasseville, who became deputy chief of staff to Duclos after the 2021 federal election, marked his last day on the job on Nov. 18. In a tweet thread on Nov. 13, Sasseville wrote: “After eight years in politics, including more than five years on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill, the time has come for me to go back home to my dearest city of Montreal.” “Politics has been a trying and humbling adventure.

So much so that I don’t think one can ever really quit…but I’m leaving nonetheless,” he continued in his tweet thread, in which he thanked former bosses, fellow staffers, public servants, and the Parliamentary Press Gallery. “Through the years, I have been fortunate enough to work for and with amazing people, men and women who don’t count their hours and show up everyday trying to make a difference for their fellow citizens,” he wrote. Sasseville is already at work in a new role as head of strategy and public affairs for Quebec for the Bank of Montreal, having started on Nov. 21. A former Quebec Liberal staffer, Sasseville first came to work on the Hill in March 2017, starting as director of communications to then-innovation, science, and economic development minister Navdeep Bains. His last role at Quebec’s national assembly had been as director of communications to then-Liberal deputy premier Lise Thériault. Sasseville left Bains’ office in the summer of 2018 to become a senior communications adviser to Duclos as then-minister of families, children, and social development. He followed Duclos to the Treasury Board portfolio after the minister was shuffled following the 2019 federal election, becoming director of communications and issues management.
