Madam Speaker, yesterday, the Minister of Health apologized to the House after being bombarded with questions from the official opposition about the date when federal vaccine mandates would be lifted. I appreciate the gesture. However, he never once answered our question about when he would lift the federal health measures. The minister said that I was entitled to have access to all of the information if I were to continue doing my job properly. I want that information, and I will take him at his word. Will the minister present today to all members of the House the scientific research and opinions backing up the NDP-Liberal government's decision to impose a vaccine mandate?

Madam Speaker, I expected him to table the documents in the House so that all members of Parliament would have access to the same information at the same time, in particular the scientific studies showing that it was recommended that the government impose a vaccine mandate. Also, Canadians learned this week that there was a new NDP‑Liberal government, and that an agreement had been signed behind closed doors. Some details were made public, but the two government parties involved refuse to release the full agreement. Yesterday, the Minister of Natural Resources promised to increase our oil exports to Europe by 300,000 barrels. Can the NDP‑Liberal government tell us whether it now recognizes that Canada has an important role to play as an oil-producing country?

Madam Speaker, I am happy to see that the NDP part of the NDP-Liberal government approves. Speaking of natural resources, Canada has been and remains a key player with respect to agriculture. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is impacting international markets. Prices are going up. There is a fertilizer shortage, and prices are exorbitant. Canadian farmers can help families around the world if the federal government supports them by eliminating barriers to production and export. Will the NDP-Liberal government finally show some leadership and give farmers the support they need?
