Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that Canadians were as stronger and more together than during Question Period on Wednesday, despite increasing pressure from protestors, the official opposition, and members of his own caucus.
The prime minister faced criticism from Liberal MP Joel Lightbound, who said that the prime minister made a conscious effort to divide Canadians in the last election.
"A decision was made to wedge, to divide and to stigmatize. I fear that this politicization of the pandemic risks undermining the public's trust in our public health institutions," said Lightbound.
Trudeau responded to questions from the Opposition Conservatives on Wednesday, by claiming that Canada has never been so united.
"Vaccine mandates and the fact that Canadians stepped up to get vaccinated to almost 90 percent ensured that this pandemic didn't hit as hard here in Canada as elsewhere around the world," he said.
"We stayed focused on following the science, on promoting public health rules and Canadians stepped up in their communities, for front line health workers, they stepped for each others, and Canada has never been as strong and together as we are now."
