Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my esteemed colleague on his speech. He and I went on a magnificent trip to Italy together some time ago.
Unfortunately for me, the arguments advanced by the Liberal Party and the NDP really do not hold water. Fundamentally, we are elected to perform important legislative work, and that work is done here. Because of an exceptional situation, we pivoted to a hybrid model, but that should be over now. We are starting to get the pandemic under control.
If we managed to make it three or four days this way without anyone getting sick so far, I think we can carry on. We have rules here in Parliament to protect us. The problem is that the rules are not always adequately enforced.
My question for my colleague is this: How can he extrapolate and say that next June 23 will be the right time? Why not two months from now or next week?
