Pharmacare  Mr. Speaker, we have been working since day one as a government to reduce prescription drug prices in this country. We have done more to reduce prescription drug prices than any other government in history. Yes, we know there is more to do. That is why we have rolled up our sleeves and are working on national universal pharmacare in partnership with the provinces and territories.

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Kitchener Centre for his question and important work to strengthen Canada's most important relationship. The Canadian and U.S. economies are deeply interconnected. Yesterday, President Biden and I discussed our shared vision for a sustainable and inclusive economic recovery, which ensures that people will have good jobs and supports middle-class prosperity on both sides of the border.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I can assure you that, like our allies, including the U.K., New Zealand and others, we take extremely seriously the security and privacy of people applying for visas. That is why we work very closely with the companies and the contractors involved to ensure that all privacy regulations and security protocols are being met.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, like I said, we take the privacy of applicants very seriously. All third party contractors undergo rigorous screening. Officials regularly carry out thorough inspections and audits to ensure compliance with Canada's privacy standards. A number of countries also use the local company, including many of our Five Eyes allies.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, every step of the way during this pandemic, we have made our decisions based on the best recommendations of science and scientists, comparing data from around the world and moving forward in ways that have kept Canadians safer than those in many countries. At the same time, we have seen too many tragedies.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, we are starting to receive hundreds of thousands of vaccines a week, and we will be receiving millions in the coming weeks. We know that we are going to speed up the vaccination process, but we need to continue to be vigilant against the variants that are coming in from places around the world.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, we all want to know when life will get back to normal. We all want this pandemic to be over, but in the meantime we will continue to vaccinate more and more people. We have to continue keeping certain public health measures in place and we will evaluate them at each stage.

Health  Mr. Speaker, Canada has some of the strictest border and travel measures in the world. The concerning variants have forced us to adopt new measures to protect Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have made it clear from the beginning of the pandemic that no one should be travelling.

Regional Economic Development  Mr. Speaker, I will not get into a debate over history with the Bloc Québécois member today. What I am concerned about these days is protecting people, fighting COVID-19 and ensuring a strong economic comeback for Quebec and Canada. That is what I will continue to focus on.

Regional Economic Development  Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, since the start of this pandemic and since taking office five years ago, we have been investing for Quebeckers and for all Canadians. We are investing in new technologies. We are working with our partners in Quebec and across the country to invest in aerospace and electrification.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, I am not entirely sure what the opposition health critic has been watching, but we have seen, over the past many weeks, the numbers decline because of the significant public health measures that Canadians have been engaged in and the sacrifices people have been making.

Health  Mr. Speaker, our plan for quarantining people returning to Canada is working. Yes, there were some challenges the first few days, but we are able to address them and keep travellers and all Canadians safe when they return. I understand that this is a challenging situation for many people, but we will continue to be there to protect travellers and all Canadians through these responsible measures.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, Conservative politicians from the very beginning of this pandemic kept insisting that we were spending too much when investing in Canadians, and that we should have helped businesses before we helped families. The member opposite specifically said that he did not believe in the kinds of investments we were making in Canadians.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, while the opposition plays political word games, we are going to remain focused on Canadians. We have been, from the very beginning, there to invest in Canadians, to support small businesses through this historic pandemic, and to work with families and workers to support them as we make it through this.

Health  Mr. Speaker, we are here to implement some of the strictest measures in the world at our borders. We have been taking extremely strong measures since March, and we continue to work to keep all Canadians safe. I understand that there are additional measures and that things are complicated for some people who are returning to Canada.
