I have two points. The first point is that I would reject categorically the assertion that the government has been failing to address the needs of the tourism sector and the hospitality sector. The tourism sector and all of hardest hit sectors were provided for extensively during the course of the pandemic, and we continue to support them.
The second point is that, as I hear more members of the official opposition speak, it just buttresses the argument that, in fact, what we have is an ideological opposition to the ArriveCAN app and the public health evidence that substantiates it. The term “public health” was used by Mr. Mr. Baldinelli and Mr. Hoback, which I would then add to my initial list of appropriate committees for this. Perhaps this should be properly studied at the health committee.
You now have, potentially, three or four different avenues to study this entity: the industry committee, the transport committee, and as I have just mentioned, the health committee. The actual concern, as underscored by the members of the official opposition, is what public health evidence underscores or provides their rationale for the ArriveCAN app. They should ask that at the health committee, which underscores the point that it does not belong at this committee.
Thank you.
