Last year, the Canadian election resulting in a minority Liberal government as follows:

Liberals -187 seats, Leader Justin Trudeau now at his home in Ottawa
Conservatives - 121 seats, Leader Andrew Scheer is from Saskatchewan
New Democratic Party (NDP) - 24 seats - Leader Jagmeet Singh is from B.C. (presently staying in Ottawa)
Bloc Québécois - 32 seats
Green party - 3 seats, Leader Elizabeth May is in B.C.
Independent - 1 (the ex-AG of Canada

, who won a seat in B.C.

Trudeau has been giving daily press conferences out of his home in Ottawa (having had a mild case of Covid-19, and is now recovered).

Because of Covid-19, Parliament was suspended for 5 weeks, due to re-open today.

Scheer (the homophobic a**hole) has been a real pain in the ***, blaming Trudeau for all the financial woes, etc. etc., ...just endless criticisms. Every time that he has been on the news, I change the channel - reminds me of Trump. He has even been insisting on 3 sittings per week, which is kinda impossible, since members from B.C. - if they leave their province to travel to Ottawa - must self-isolate for 2 weeks upon their return! - let alone MPs (Members of Parliament) from the far north who would have extreme problems in travelling. Of course, for all members to sit, it would also mean that all govt employees that work along with such sittings would also have to be there as well, putting all sorts of other people at risk !! I am sure that Scheer will be soon insisting and pressuring Trudeau on reopening Canada for business asap, like he is unaware of the Covid-19's second wave, and the fact that there is no vaccine as yet.

In Canada, all provinces are responsible for how health care is administered in their province, and all provinces have been following the recommendations of their medical professionals (more or less).

The NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said that two virtual sittings of the committee of the whole per week can accommodate most other needs.

The Liberals have put forth a motion to sit once a week and virtual meetings for the rest, which, insofar as I am concerned, seems "reasonable", considering how dangerous and risky Covid-19 is.

Technically speaking, the only real reason/need for everyone to sit would be to pass legislation (which they have done x2 for passing bills re: $ relief, etc.), but Scheer is grandstanding and obviously wants to be in the spotlight, so he can be seen asking questions (looking like he is actually doing something, when he is doing nothing at all) - denigrating and blaming Trudeau. It's not like he was in the spotlight 5 weeks ago or earlier, suggesting anything constructive, but is now using the crisis to strut and be the jerk that he is...
