Mr. Speaker, the omicron variant is deeply troubling to Canadians. People are worried about their families and their communities. This variant has also shown very clearly that we will not be able to beat this pandemic unless the entire world is vaccinated. Why does the Prime Minister continue to defend the interests and profits of wealthy pharmaceutical companies rather than ensuring that every country in the world can produce vaccines in their home countries so they can vaccinate their populations?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is literally continuing to defend the profits of pharmaceutical companies. The omicron variant of COVID-19 is deeply troubling. People are worried about their families and their communities. The variant has shown that the entire world must be vaccinated to beat this pandemic. Why does the Prime Minister continue to defend the profits of major pharmaceutical companies rather than defending the interests of poorer countries so that they can produce vaccines themselves?

Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of a climate crisis and we have seen the devastating impacts of this crisis in B.C. We know we need to act immediately. The environment commissioner has pointed out that the Liberal government's subsidies are actually not working to reduce emissions as they have claimed. In fact, they are not working at all. Why will the Prime Minister not end the fossil fuel subsidies once and for all and invest that money into renewable energy, into workers and into reducing our emissions and protecting our environment?

Mr. Speaker, those are more fine words without meaningful action. We are in a climate crisis that is hitting hard. We saw the disastrous consequences in British Columbia, and we must take action. The environment commissioner made it clear that oil subsidies do not help reduce emissions. Will the Prime Minister immediately stop subsidizing the oil companies?

Mr. Speaker, today is World AIDS Day, and I think about so many Canadians who have lost loved ones and people close to them to HIV/AIDS. What is worse is that we have all the tools right now to completely eradicate HIV/AIDS. What we are lacking is a plan that particularly addresses the barriers faced by the most vulnerable people. Why does Canada not have a plan to completely, once and for all, eradicate HIV/AIDS?
