Mr. Speaker, if my hon. colleague had listened to my speech, I did not say that experts should not be given the opportunity to speak on what they know. I said that we should take that expertise, but that politicians were elected to make the decisions. That is why Canadians have this place. We should get all the expert advice and data, make case-by-case decisions and have a plan to give Canadians hope.
I would ask my hon. colleague not to put words in my mouth. We should take the expert opinions. However, people are put in the chamber to make those decisions to have a safe plan for Canadians to have hope and optimism that in the future they can get back to their pre-COVID-19 lives.
