I just say to you, member for Roe,
let us imagine the workforce is not vaccinated and COVID comes in. Look at what
is happening in Europe today—thousands upon thousands of cases and
hundreds of people dying every day. That is what is occurring there. There are
no easy choices here. You can come up with these glib lines, based upon your
irresponsible approach to this issue, but the reality is that we need to get
people vaccinated. We see the mass deaths
occurring in Europe today. We need to get people vaccinated to high levels. The
education workforce is crucial . So, rather than come in here and
constantly try to score your cheap political points, how about you go out there
and join us in encouraging people to get vaccinated.
