Madam Speaker, just to recap, the hon. member did a phenomenal job of presenting the reasons why she could not support the motion from her perspective. Now I will share through mine some of the problems that are still outstanding with her rationale.
At the outset of COVID, there was a drastic mishandling of the national emergency stockpile. We asked the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, who could have been responsible, if it was her responsibility. She said, no, it was the Minister of Health. Then we asked the Minister of Health who, of course, would not take responsibility for the fact that the government threw out millions of critical PPE on the eve of a pandemic and still has not adequately accounted for that decision.
Does the member opposite not believe that the government has a role and a responsibility to ensure that critical personal protective equipment is provided to Canadians in a way that will help offset what could perhaps be a third wave coming in the future?
