I'd like to get this straight now.
We have now been in this meeting for two full hours. We are trying to get clarity and transparency with regard to these issues of mask use and what Dr. Tam knew, what the PMO knew, and what Health, PHAC knew. We've spent two full hours trying to make sure that we don't get information from the health minister and the PMO. It is absolutely mind-boggling. If we want Canadians to trust the process, then we need to make sure that we actually have all the information and that nobody gets left out.
When we look at where we're at right now with the PMO on a number of other issues on which it has tried not to be transparent, we can see that Canadians have a reason to be concerned about this. It absolutely blows my mind that we have spent two hours trying our very best to make sure that the PMO and the health ministry give us no information.
I'm begging you: We need to make sure that Canadians know exactly what happened so they will trust the institutions they are being asked to follow. I'm begging you.
