Mr. Speaker, there has been a lot of discussion, and I know this member touched on certain members, primarily the NDP in this House, as calling on the government to use the emergency measures act. At the end of the day, this government has demonstrated that it wants to work with provinces and has pretty much given provinces everything that they want in terms of making sure that they have access to supplies as soon as they can get it, PPE and rapid tests.
I realize this member is not from Alberta, and neither am I, but at least within his province, would he not see the federal government using the emergency measures act almost as an act of bad faith in that relationship that has been used over the last year in order to combat this virus together on a collective front?
