This is particularly unclear. I was criticized earlier for a lack of facts in my motion. However, it's easy to see that the masks aren't made in Canada. My motion is very simple. It's about supporting our workers and companies and setting an example on Parliament Hill.
I never, ever thought that I would face so much opposition or filibustering in order to protect our workers and companies. When I'm told “as soon as reasonably possible,” what does that mean? Does it mean February 1, 2022, 2023, 2645? It's remarkably unclear. This is about our workers and our health, because the masks made here meet our high standards.
That's what this motion addresses. It's about protecting our people.
Why is there so much opposition to this? Why are there so many barriers to protecting our people?
