Mr. Speaker, I am talking about the current lack of consistency and the health minister's problem understanding what her jurisdiction is.
The minister is currently telling the provinces to develop their own saliva tests when that is her department's responsibility. The premiers are coming together and wondering what is happening and whether they have to develop a test themselves. No. That is the responsibility of Health Canada and the minister.
The minister has said publicly that it was up to the provinces to do it if they wanted to. That needs to stop.
Will the minister apologize to the provincial premiers?
