Madam Chair, I would answer in French, but I don't speak it very well.
An unnecessary dichotomy has been presented to the Canadian people: be with your family and everyone dies, or stay apart forever and everyone lives.
The sheer fact that we can have NHL players, film people, truck drivers and essential workers come to Canada safely means that there is a safe third path. I tell all Canadians watching this right now: the Faces of Advocacy don't want our mothers, our sisters or our loved ones sick. We certainly don't want your families sick. We will uphold every public safety guideline.
If the question is why you want to be with your family when the world is in trouble, I ask in response: If the world is in trouble, who do you want beside you?
