Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To follow up on the last answer, I will come back to the issue of protecting health care workers, professionals, those accompanying them, and patients. In principle, of course we agree that they must be protected. We have seen, although fortunately not on a regular basis, examples of protests, especially outside vaccination clinics. It is my understanding that these protests are being specifically targeted.
As I said earlier, protection needs to be guaranteed, because health care workers want to be protected, but they also want to advance their rights, which is a form of protection and a way to improve one's life and working conditions. To do that, workers protest, strike and picket outside health care facilities. Why consider adding offences? Will people still have their constitutional right to protest? We feel it's quite important to have that explicitly guaranteed in the bill.
