Madam Speaker, I really appreciated how the member used personal experiences to illustrate what people have been going through. The examples are countless.
I have a first cousin on my dad's side of the family, the baby of the cousins, who got married just before the pandemic. She recently announced that she was expecting. Her name is Mary and her husband's name is Matt. I had to drop off their baby shower gift at Canada Post to be delivered to them because we obviously cannot see them in person.
There are definitely so many people throughout our country who are struggling with this. However, there is an end in sight. This member asked a lot about the end in sight, and what the hard date was. Every Canadian will be vaccinated, if they choose to be, by September of this year. When we use that as our date and we tell people to look forward to that, that will motivate people to plan around that. For example, Queen's University in my riding is planning events for the fall, based on this information.
Does the member not see that as a tangible date we are able to tell people to prepare for?
