Procedure and House Affairs committee The Public Health Agency of Canada does not have a specific view on reconvening Parliament early, but as indicated, our advice to all Canadians is to stay the course, maintain physical distancing, continue to protect those who are more vulnerable, practise very good, robust public health measures and, if you must go to work, do so in the safest way possible.

Procedure and House Affairs committee I'm thinking about the provincial orders that I have seen most recently. I have not seen a specific exemption for members of Parliament, although there are exemptions made for individuals who are determined to be essential workers. I am not sure how members of Parliament fall into that categorization.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Self-isolation or quarantining, essentially, is to stay at home. You remain at home; you do not go out. Someone else supports you with groceries and all the rest. You remain at home, unless there is some need to seek medical attention or something similar. You remain in your home, separated as much as possible from others who may be in the home.

Procedure and House Affairs committee That's an interesting question. I think all provinces and territories now.... We are very actively engaged in these conversations about how to reintroduce what we once thought of as normal activities into our experience.

Procedure and House Affairs committee I don't have that number in front of me but I can get it for you. They are continuing to accrue cases.

Dr. Barbara Raymond
Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes, it is possible. We do not know the degree to which it is driving the epidemic, but we do believe it to be possible. In addition to that, pre-symptomatic spread, through people who are infectious before they are aware that they are ill, is also a significant concern.
