“Amen Brother”, Mr. Speaker, absolutely.
My colleague's caucus colleague from Vancouver Kingsway, who serves with me on the health committee, has also been extremely collaborative. I want to give him credit for helping think through this motion, asking what we need to know and how we word it so it is not partisan or accusatory and is just about information gathering so Parliament can do its job and move forward.
The purpose of a parliamentary committee it is to look at these issues and come up with recommendations on the best path forward. We need this information, it is a no-brainer, and this is something that should pull Parliament together. It will be unacceptable to Canadians for the government to give weak sauce excuses that a committee, the health committee, cannot study the pandemic during the pandemic.
