Mr. Speaker, I will invite the minister to table the secret public health advice that is different in this country than it is in any other country. The Jays and the Leafs are both busing to the Buffalo airport to join the rest of the league without delays, and that is because of the ineffective redundancy at our own airports. Most Canadians do not have that luxury. Lineups and wait times at Pearson airport will only worsen over the summer unless the government acts. I will ask this one more time: When will Canada join the rest of the world and drop the restrictions?

Mr. Speaker, the good news is that more Canadians want to travel, want to go on trips and want to visit family, and we are seeing large volumes at airports. We are working on these delays. Yesterday I met with the CEO of CATSA. We struck a working group a few weeks ago to address these issues and work quickly to address the surge in demand. We are seeing surges across the entire economy. Our government is responsive. We are working proactively to address these issues as quickly as possible.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has always said that Canada's response to the pandemic is based on science. While countries around the world have already abandoned mandatory proof of vaccination, the Prime Minister continues to require it at Canadian airports. If we are talking about science, how does he explain the fact that we can have 28,000 people in a sports stadium without proof of vaccination, but we cannot travel within our own country? Can the Prime Minister share his science with us and explain why he insists on maintaining these restrictions at airports?
