Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Edmonton Strathcona for the passion with which she defends her constituents and her home province. The fact that she has provoked this debate is extremely important. I think all Albertans and all Canadians thank her. Everyone sees the tragic numbers coming out of Alberta. It has the highest infection rate in North America. It is a tragedy that is unfolding.
The member spoke very eloquently about the impacts of not having the adequate sick leave the federal government has not put in place, and not having pharmacare at a time when it is critically needed.
Also, the domestic production of vaccines would make such a difference.
I ask the member simply to put forward what she believes the federal government should be doing now to make sure this tragedy that is unfolding is stopped in its place by having the provincial and federal governments both doing the jobs they are supposed to do.
