Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to stand in the House. It has been a mere few days for me as a newly elected member. I was sent to this place to get to work, not to debate the desire to hide in a basement. It was hugs on the other side on Monday, and we are debating hiding on Thursday. How is it that the Prime Minister can call an election, criss-cross the country, campaign in hospitals and gallivant around Scotland with a delegation of hundreds at COP26? Why is it that 18,000 people can go see the Toronto Raptors win and the government cannot agree to have 338 members in the House? How does the member explain this to the good people of Ottawa West—Nepean, who sent her here?

Madam Speaker, the government has been presenting arguments all day about the safety of staff and health. Now we are hearing that this is about convenience, this is about the environment and this is about the continuation of a virtual Parliament until the end of time. Which reason is it? Is it for the safety of the House, or is it for the environment or is it simply for the convenience of member?
