"Starting next week, you'll notice the installation of plexiglass around your workstations in the opposition lobby," Jacques said in an email sent to pages on Wednesday. Pages wear masks, and some want them made mandatory for MPs and staff in the Commons chamber and the lobbies, a House of Commons source said. Former Green Party leader Elizabeth May told CBC News she's personally witnessed MPs in the opposition lobby ignoring physical-distancing guidelines on multiple occasions. NDP whip Rachel Blaney said she's never personally seen her party's MPs ignore public health guidelines in the opposition lobby. Bittle said opposition MPs — and some from his own party — have asked him why he keeps the mask on.
