Mr. Speaker, right now we are in a pandemic, and this motion is a continuation of what we already agreed to unanimously. We agreed that we are in a public health emergency. We need to do everything in our power to keep people safe.
We also need to make sure that we are protecting the health and safety of members of Parliament, our staff, families and communities. This is one of the reasons I am supporting this motion. However, for me as a new mom, it is not just these considerations. We also need to see this as an opportunity to make Parliament more family-friendly, to break down barriers and to support women in the House.
