Mr. Speaker, it was very special to see my hon. colleague with her beautiful baby. I want to congratulate her on showing that mothers can do both.
My hon. colleague is taking issue with some colleagues in the House who are arguing that they do not want virtual Parliament because people do not want to come to work. The problem is that for basically the length of the pandemic, there was one Liberal member of Parliament in the House. Not all the other ones had COVID or were having babies. There was one member of Parliament here.
Is the member comfortable with that? Does she think it is acceptable that people can just choose, for whatever reason, not to come? She made really good arguments for childbirth and other things, but there was one Liberal member in the House, no others, and I personally did not find that acceptable.
