00:00:00.000 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:00:05.580 Mr. Speaker, Canadians are telling the Prime Minister they want to get back to work,
00:00:10.960 they want to get back to normal life.
00:00:12.920 That's why we're seeing demonstrations not only in Ottawa, but right across the country.
00:00:17.740 The Prime Minister has caused division by overtly politicizing vaccines
00:00:21.840 and the pandemic and calling these Canadians names.
00:00:25.160 And now he's saying these protests really aren't his problem.
00:00:28.040 They're the provinces or maybe even the cities.
00:00:31.320 When will the Prime Minister stop hiding, show up for Canadians,
00:00:35.580 show some leadership, and fix the mess that he's created?
00:00:40.080 The Honourable Minister.
00:00:48.320 The Honourable Minister.
00:00:49.660 Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I appreciate the question.
00:00:59.320 I think that what we have to ask at this moment in time is what needs to get done
00:01:03.120 to get Canadians safe and out of this pandemic.
00:01:05.980 And what we know is the best way we can get out of this pandemic is to get vaccinated.
00:01:10.780 We're all tired.
00:01:12.080 We're all frustrated.
00:01:13.040 But we have to ask how we can continue to sacrifice to keep those safe around us
00:01:17.680 to make sure that we follow public health measures
00:01:20.200 and do our best to get out of this pandemic,
00:01:23.320 keeping as many people safe and alive as possible.
00:01:26.320 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:01:28.760 Dr. Tam and other health officials across the country
00:01:31.840 have started to change their language on lifting restrictions.
00:01:35.100 According to Dr. Tam, things like vaccine mandates should be re-evaluated.
00:01:40.740 Countries around the world have started to lift restrictions
00:01:43.460 or actually end them all together.
00:01:45.520 So can the Prime Minister tell Canadians today
00:01:48.440 when the government will quickly respond to our public health officials
00:01:52.140 and begin to lift all the restrictions that they've imposed on Canadians?
00:01:57.600 The Honourable Government House Leader.
00:02:00.640 Mr. Speaker, let's be clear that the mandates,
00:02:04.360 most of which she's speaking of, are provincial in nature,
00:02:07.820 that the mandates...
00:02:09.360 I want the House of Commons one more.
00:02:14.780 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition just asked a question.
00:02:41.420 She'd like to hear what has to be said in response to her question.
00:02:45.100 Please let the Honourable Government House Leader answer
00:02:49.240 so she can hear it.
00:02:51.240 The Honourable Government House Leader.
00:02:52.160 Mr. Speaker, I heard some yelling that they want to end the mandate
00:02:55.380 for truckers to be able to get vaccinated.
00:02:58.240 But I would point out to the Honourable Members across
00:03:00.760 that the rule exists in the United States
00:03:03.000 that even if it didn't exist in Canada,
00:03:04.900 they would have to have it in order to enter the United States.
00:03:07.760 Here are the plain and simple facts.
00:03:09.600 Canadians need straight talk about how to get out of this pandemic.
00:03:14.060 That means following public health guidelines.
00:03:16.980 That means getting vaccinated.
00:03:18.560 And yes, it means talking calmly and rationally
00:03:21.740 about what are real solutions
00:03:23.680 instead of trying to be incendiary
00:03:26.000 and try to elevate a situation
00:03:28.220 that is not about the pandemic,
00:03:30.500 that is about politics.
00:03:32.680 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:03:34.560 Well, thanks to that member,
00:03:35.680 I see the Prime Minister is still in hiding
00:03:37.260 and that member is mansplaining to me
00:03:38.920 how to stay calm and rational,
00:03:40.840 which I don't appreciate.
00:03:41.960 Mr. Speaker, Canadians have suffered. 0.86
00:03:44.540 They've followed the rules.
00:03:45.640 They've done what they were asked to do.
00:03:47.500 We can't have a slow and drawn-out process of reopening
00:03:50.860 just because the Prime Minister is hiding and in denial.
00:03:54.780 Dr. Moore in Ontario said recently,
00:03:56.760 I think we have to start to understand
00:03:58.440 we've got to learn to live with the virus.
00:04:00.700 In Canada, living means living freely.
00:04:03.980 Will the Prime Minister follow the science,
00:04:06.300 follow the advice of experts and assure Canadians
00:04:08.580 that he'll be removing all federal vaccine mandates quickly?
00:04:13.460 Thank you.
00:04:13.880 Mr. Speaker, for two years,
00:04:21.040 Canadians have dealt with a global pandemic
00:04:23.740 that has stressed all of us.
00:04:25.960 There is not a Canadian who has not gone through 0.99
00:04:28.240 an incredibly difficult time.
00:04:30.160 The question that we ask on this side is,
00:04:32.880 what is the science?
00:04:37.980 The rules say that we stop at 3 o'clock.
00:04:40.420 We've been very flexible going beyond that.
00:04:42.720 I'm sure we don't want to cut off any questions
00:04:44.820 because we can't hear anything.
00:04:47.720 The Honourable Government,
00:04:48.840 House Leader from the top, please.
00:04:50.980 Mr. Speaker, we need to follow science.
00:04:53.920 We need to very closely look at
00:04:56.000 what is the best way to get out of this pandemic
00:04:58.860 using evidence, not politics.
00:05:01.540 We are not in a place
00:05:02.900 where we can afford to play games with public health.
00:05:05.780 Instead, we have to take each step one at a time.
00:05:09.760 The reality is, our beleaguered health care workers
00:05:13.040 who are on the front lines, in hospitals,
00:05:16.000 in health care settings across the country,
00:05:18.200 are tired.
00:05:18.860 Our hospitals are full.
00:05:20.520 All of us need to step back
00:05:22.040 and ask how we can sacrifice
00:05:23.380 and do everything we can to get out of this
00:05:25.420 following the best public health advice.
