Madam Speaker, I have a question about the minister's recent statements. Can you add some predictability to your measures? Look around you. Almost all of the provinces are starting to—

Thank you for your reminder, Madam Speaker. That is basically what is being called for. Everyone must agree that vaccination is a means to an end and that the measures in place have helped. In fact, the vaccination rate here is pretty high. When will the federal government be able to relax certain measures, and how predictable will that be? What indicators is it using? I feel like I am hearing—

Mr. Speaker, I thank my Conservative colleague for her speech. The Bloc Québécois has said that it will support the Conservatives' motion, not because of the concerns and rhetoric invoked on both sides of the House, from both the official opposition and the government, but because it makes sense for the Canadian government to come up with a plan to gradually lift the lockdown measures. It is unfortunate that the government is so preoccupied that it cannot come up with a plan or even plan to come up with a plan. This is what is happening everywhere. The science is allowing for some predictability, and we can start this process. However, I am concerned about the Conservatives' call for all public health measures to be lifted. I think measures should be lifted gradually and in accordance with the science. This issue must not be polarized. That certainly would not get the protesters to leave.

Mr. Speaker, my question is simple. Why do we have to put so much pressure on the government to convince it to take action, get out of the shadows and come forward? That was the case for the borders in 2020. It is now 2022. When will the Prime Minister and the government make regular announcements about what we can expect and present a plan? I do not get it. The Liberals seem to be stuck in 2019. To hear them talk, it seems as though we will be under lockdown for a long time to come. What is the problem?
