Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Windsor West, who is probably one of the people I respect the most in the House. I would simply say that there are many victims we never hear about, including those with mental health issues. The pandemic has probably claimed more victims among people who were ignored, who gave up their freedom, who were locked in rooms, who gave up their health and their lives, and who were unable to get medical appointments.

Since we have been here, we have demonstrated that we work constructively in the collective interest, after all. During his speech, my colleague kept referring to a gathering that has gone too far. However, his party, which is gradually turning into the left wing of the Liberal Party, voted last week against the motion to phase out the health measures. Can he explain that to me?
