Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister stood firm when it came to closing the border to the U.S. We did not tolerate the bullying from our neighbours to the south, and we continue to do that.
When it comes to proroguing Parliament, the Speech from the Throne allowed us to present Canadians with our vision for the future as we continue to deal with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and restart our economy. The Speech from the Throne also provided the House of Commons and members of Parliament the opportunity to work on this confidence motion so that we could represent the voices of our constituents whom we represent in the House.
