Mr. Speaker, it is great to see my colleague from Manitoba. The riding name is quite long. I had the pleasure of working with that member on the finance committee. I welcome him back, and I congratulate him.
In the motion as written, hybrid sittings would go through until June 23, 2022. We are in the fourth wave of a pandemic. We know what is happening in Europe currently. Thankfully, Canadians from coast to coast to coast are receiving their vaccinations, disclosing that, ensuring the safety of their families and friends, and allowing them to get back to work.
We are getting back to work. It is so great to be here. I love being in the House of Commons. It is a privilege for myself and for the people who supported me, and I thank them.
The motion would allow individuals who may be exposed to COVID, who do need that flexibility to have it. In case members do get COVID, they would be able to work from home during that time. Hopefully they would be all right and would be able to come to work safety.
