Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, for the last six months we have faced a global challenge that for many of us is the worst we have ever seen in our lifetime. However, one thing we can say with a lot of confidence is that Canadians can be proud of how they have come together. We have seen examples, in communities in every part of Canada, of Canadians coming together to take care of their neighbours.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and the Liberal government decided to prorogue government and in doing so had almost two months to plan for a second wave, which we knew was coming. Now we are in the second wave, and the government really has no plan to deal with the crucial questions that people are faced with right now.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government and the Prime Minister prorogued Parliament and in doing so the government has had almost two months to plan a response to the second wave, which we are facing right now. What is the plan for solving ongoing problems, especially those with testing, long-term health care and care for seniors?

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are worried. The numbers are going up. It is clear that we are dealing with a second wave of COVID-19, but at the same time, the Prime Minister has not really presented a plan. What is the plan for increasing COVID-19 testing? What is the plan for our seniors in long-term care centres?

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of a second wave. The numbers are increasing and people are deeply worried, but the Prime Minister has still not laid out clear plans for some of the most concerning parts of this pandemic. What is the plan to make sure people have access to testing?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, the unanimous motion passed today shows that the will of the House is that we need to help parents get back to work by ensuring there is affordable and quality child care and that schools have the funding they need. When can we expect that? When will the Prime Minister make sure that kids are safe to go back to school and that parents can count on reliable, affordable child care?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, the problem is that the Liberal government is too busy helping themselves to help people. Right now, people do not know what the plan is, and they are worried. EI only covers about 40% of Canadians. When will the government make it really clear? When will the Liberal government make sure Canadians know that every Canadian worker will be supported and that no one will be left behind?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, we know the figures required, and what the government is proposing right now is wholly inadequate. It is simply not enough to provide the child care and the educational funding supports that provinces need. When will this Liberal government commit to the adequate funding, the sufficient funding, to make sure parents will know that their kids will be safe in school?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, the minister should know that all the experts have made it really clear that, if we are talking about child care for everyone who needs it, and if we are talking about supports for education in all the provinces and territories, it is simply not enough money. It is not enough, and it shows that the government is not committed.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, we have two scandals the government is embroiled in: one is the WE scandal and the second is about a mortgage company in which one of the executives is the husband of the chief of staff. In both of these scandals we are seeing Liberals helping themselves instead of helping people.

Lebanon  Mr. Speaker, like many people, we were devastated by the images we saw out of Beirut and Lebanon a few days ago. On behalf of all New Democrats and all Canadians, we send our love to the Lebanese people and to those affected around the world and here at home by this terrible explosion.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, I want to switch gears on the next question. What is the government's plan for the CERB at the end of August?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, the stories told by Rideau Hall employees are troubling. The Prime Minister has a role to play. Will he show leadership and launch an independent investigation?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, the stories shared by the workers at Rideau Hall are so troubling that the Prime Minister has a role to play. The Prime Minister can show leadership. Will the Prime Minister show leadership and launch an independent investigation?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, I did not hear a plan. I met a couple who works in music production. They support concerts by helping to set up the stage. They lost their jobs and have no hope of returning to jobs. What is the plan for that couple?
