I really have to ponder this deeply:
A Conservative Party motion to ask the government to revert to pre-pandemic rules for air travel to reduce airport wait times was defeated today in the House of Commons.
The motion, tabled by Conservative MP and transport critic Melissa Lantsman, was mostly only supported by members of her own party. Liberal MP Joël Lightbound, who publically criticized his party’s COVID-19 restrictions in February, also voted in favour.
The motion, defeated 202 to 117, said a return to pre-pandemic rules and services is needed to deal with “unacceptable wait times” in airports.
It also said that the current restrictions are “ineffective,” that other allied countries have lifted COVID-19 restrictions at airports and other points of entry, and that the measures are hurting Canada’s economy.
“We have not been able to find anyone who has told the government to keep the legacy health restrictions and the assault on mobility rights in place,” said Lantsman in her speech presenting the motion on May 19.
“That leads us on this side of the House to believe that there is no evidence, there are no metrics and there is no good reason, other than the ideological drive to punish those who do not agree with the government.”
Yep:
