Mr. Speaker, while question period has been going on, the leaders of 11 municipal governments in the greater Toronto area have released a statement saying that they want to reopen after the current 28-day pause, which is reasonable given that we are nine months into the pandemic.
I have questions for the health minister. We see that cases are increasing. Why are cases increasing even though we are wearing masks and we have had restaurant closures? How much do restaurant closures actually reduce the spread of COVID-19? What data is she basing that information on, and has she shared that with the provinces?
