Madam Speaker, it is so good to see my colleague here. We worked together on a private member's bill a couple of years ago. It is great to see him. Nowhere in this motion does it say that I cannot be here. I can assure the member that I have missed this place too. I have missed everyone. I am planning on being back as long as my health allows me to, and I am not exposed. My concern is that, God forbid, I become exposed to COVID. There is no mechanism for me to come and make sure that I can vote, make sure that I can speak and be the voice of the citizens. I lost my aunt to COVID-19 in May 2020 in a CHSLD. I know first-hand what it means to be afraid. I do not want to take away the opportunity for my colleagues, who may be afraid to come in because they may have been exposed, to participate in a vote. I can assure my colleague across that there is no way I will be hiding and not come to this House if I am able to do so. Would he agree that this is the responsible thing to do?
