This House has also been prevented from doing its job of holding the Government to account and ensuring there is robust and constant scrutiny of all the real-time decisions that need to be made as part of responding to a global pandemic. Today, I call again on the Government to do what is right and agree to the re-establishment of the Epidemic Response Committee. This is not about opposition for opposition's sake or even necessarily opposing at all. We are dealing with a once-in-a-generation crisis and we need to use all the tools at our disposal to keep each other accountable to the people we are here to represent.
