Scheer wants some form of in-person Parliament to resume after May 25
The Opposition chief says as the country begins a slow recovery from COVID-19, it's more essential than ever for the Liberal government to be held accountable.
Trudeau said that the set-up allows for MPs who aren't close to Parliament Hill to have their say on the issues, as most who attend in person are from relatively nearby. Among them, the Green party's Paul Manly, whose riding is in B.C, several Conservatives from the Prairies and Bloc Quebecois MPs from all parts of Quebec.
“We've always said that virtual sittings can be used to augment, to facilitate members who may not be able to come to Ottawa, but it certainly is no replacement,” he said.
