Mr. Speaker, what do Canadians need to know about the leader of the official opposition and our next Prime Minister? Many already know him as the common-sense leader Canada needs. His school teacher parents know him as the boy they adopted and raised in their modest home in the suburbs of Calgary. His dad knows him as the son he took to early morning hockey practice. His neighbours know him as the boy who delivered their newspaper. His two children, know him in français, espanol, and English as papa. Canadians need to know when he says, “It doesn't matter who you know or where you're from, but rather who you are and where you're going.” Those are not just empty words to secure votes; he has lived it. It is common sense. Let us bring it home.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to address my colleague about being a woman with children and the argument being made today that it is hard. I know it is hard. I have three children. It is excruciating being away from them, but this is not about us. This is about something bigger than us. This job is not a normal job. We took this job on to serve Canadians. Anyone who has worked on Zoom or virtually knows that the smallest technical glitch can squeak anything through. We are here to represent democracy. This is not about us. When we took this job on, we knew that we were representing something so much bigger than us. It is not about us, and members can bring their families here. Why are they not open to pairing and negotiating here? How is it one or the other?

Mr. Speaker, I want to point out that I was elected to represent the constituents of my riding of Peterborough—Kawartha. All of us in the House were elected to represent our constituents. I am curious if my colleague or any of my Liberals colleagues have even asked their constituents if they are okay with them not showing up to work.
