Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for sharing the very dire situation he is experiencing in his riding right now.
I share his concerns. I am equally off-put by the partisanship I am seeing defending incompetence. In today's news, the paper said that for the next four weeks, Canada's vaccine deliveries would be cut in half with up to 400,000 doses delayed, according to Major-General Dany Fortin, who is leading the country's vaccine rollout.
I spent my morning fighting for people in my riding with trench fever. We have had long-term care COVID outbreaks in my riding. The response has been grossly inadequate. Now is not the time for partisanship. As my hon. colleague mentioned, the lives of the most vulnerable are on the line. In Winnipeg right now it is -39°. I spent all day trying to fight for health care supports and housing for the people of Winnipeg Centre.
I just want to say that I stand with the member, although we come from different parties. We have to stand in non-partisanship and ensure people get the vaccines and health care services they need now.
