Thank you, Chair. It's a pleasure to be here on behalf of the official opposition, as the shadow minister for labour.
I want to get right into it here. It certainly is not normal to have a panel like this come before the committee and universally condemn the lack of action from the government. That's something I certainly haven't seen an awful lot of in my nearly 10 years as a member. It's not often that the regulator is universally condemned in that way for a lack of action.
We thank you for the extra work you're doing, while doing your own jobs, advocating for your members. I'm sure that's a very mentally taxing activity in addition to having concerns about your own job security.
We need to get things back to normal, as normal as possible during this. That means we need to get the majority of the population vaccinated [Technical difficulty—Editor] those who want to get vaccinated, and we've seen certainly huge problems with the rollout of that. My observation is that as those problems have been clear, as we have, for instance, zero Pfizer vaccines being delivered, the Prime Minister has started now to dangle this possibility of a 14-day mandatory hotel quarantine as a way to distract from the failure on vaccines.
Mr. Rauenbusch, and then Mr. Lesosky, have you been consulted, has your union been consulted, on a possible 14-day mandatory hotel quarantine at cost to travellers? What is your view on the impact that will have on the industry?
