Madam Speaker, early in 2020, we were all facing an unforeseen global crisis. It was a life-and-death situation, leading to anxiety, fear and confusion. Our Prime Minister and his team took the measures necessary to keep Canadians safe and to keep our economy going during the pandemic. On behalf the residents of Brampton Centre, I would like to thank the right hon. Prime Minister for his leadership, for standing up for Canadians and for having their backs when they needed it most.
This deadly virus is not yet defeated. Vaccine mandates help keep Canadians safe. We must not allow a small group of extortionists to sabotage those efforts. Let us not squander the hard-fought victories of the past two years by abandoning the fight before victory is achieved.
