Mr. Speaker, the government is taking people for fools when it comes to passports. Today, it started issuing tickets with fixed appointment times to the people lining up outside the Montreal office. However, by 9:20 a.m., there were no more tickets left. According to TVA, the government gave out about 75 tickets, even though thousands of people are waiting for an appointment. Is that really the best solution the government could come up with this week? If so, it really has a long way to go.

How reassuring, Mr. Speaker. Thank goodness the federal government was not responsible for getting people vaccinated. Remember how the vaccination centres were run? We were greeted at the door with information and instructions, even though millions of us were seeking an appointment at the same time. What a stark contrast to the passport process. We pay half of our taxes to this federal government, yet it is incapable of getting us a simple piece of photo ID. Will the government at least acknowledge its own utter incompetence? I hope it at least feels ashamed.
