Madam Speaker, I would just say to the member that I came here tonight to participate in a debate about the federal policy response with respect to the impact on COVID-19 in the province that I represent. We are not here to have a debate about provincial policy.
I certainly share my feedback with elected representatives at the provincial level, and leaders in Ottawa have to be prepared to work across party lines. In the last Parliament when I was an elected MP, we had three provincial NDP MLAs and a provincial NDP premier in Alberta, and I did everything I could to work constructively with them to find areas of common ground.
It is not constructive that the member is using the federal House of Commons as a platform to attack provincial policy. There is always an opportunity to run in provincial elections, but at the federal level we need to be talking about borders. We need to be talking about the fact that we are in a third wave, because the Prime Minister failed to secure the borders. We need to be talking about the failure of the federal government to deliver vaccines to the provinces.
Let us talk about the federal failures and we can leave the provincial debates to the provincial legislatures, instead of using this seat to attack provincial politicians who are not even here to defend themselves.
