Mr. Speaker, Canadians are resilient. They have sacrificed so much over the past year. However, they need to know that their government is focused on securing their future. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister has repeatedly let them down during this crisis. The government has been consistently slow to respond, and it prioritized ideology over Canadian families.
The Prime Minister and his government cannot keep asking families to stay disconnected and for seniors to isolate. They cannot keep sacrificing jobs, ignoring sectors of the economy and avoiding transparency.
The government needs to do better. It needs to get the vaccine rollout right to secure jobs and secure our future. If it cannot, then it needs to get out of the way, because every Canadian, regardless of their age, where they live or what sector of the economy they work in, needs a government that has their back.
