Thank you, Mr. Chair.
For those of you who follow along at home, one thing you perhaps don't see that happens at the health committee is that we receive a large number of briefs from individuals from all across the country, who share their perspective on a variety of things we study. I think it would be fair to say that this particular study has received a very large number of briefs. It seems that just about every day, or at least every Monday, we have a pile full of briefs. I want to let everyone who is following at home know this, especially those who have written and sent in those briefs. At least, my colleagues from the Conservatives—I see some heads nodding—and, I believe, just about everyone takes into consideration all of those written briefs we've been receiving.
There was one today that hit me probably a bit more than others, because it's so similar to so many of the emails I've received at my constituency office. It was one that talked about someone who was unable to fly due to ongoing travel restrictions and, as a result, she was going to miss a family funeral. Funerals are such emotionally charged moments in people's lives. To me, it's really sad that these travel restrictions are having such a huge impact on so many people's lives.
As a result of some of these briefs, I would like to move:
That the committee is of the opinion that travel mandates in relation to COVID-19 be lifted immediately; and that the chair report this motion to the House at the next available opportunity.
