Mr. Speaker, I have three messages for Canadians today.
The first is a bit of a tough one, and that is that COVID is still with us. The omicron variant is serious and we need to take it seriously. That is not a message anyone wants to hear as we head into the holidays, and I know how hard it is for us to really accept that, but it is the reality. One thing we have all learned from this virus, and by the way it is the way Canadians tend to behave anyway, is that it is better to do the right thing now and to take action now to avoid something more serious in the future. That is message one, to be careful.
Message two is that the government is supporting Canadians with all the tools we need: the health care tools and the economic support.
Message three is that we have been doing a great job; our economy has largely recovered from the COVID recession.
Let us keep on going. We are almost there.
