Mr. Speaker, at every turn in this crisis, the Conservatives had an opportunity to de-escalate and talk to those who were outside about dispersing and moving on. Instead we saw the interim leader of the Conservatives come out saying that they should continue this for political purposes. The member for Carleton, who is currently a leadership candidate, came out saying that he is proud and stands with the illegal activity that is happening outside. The member for Yorkton—Melville was saying that ripping down barricades protecting the war memorial was an act of profound patriotism. This is their failing leadership here. What this—

Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party has a clear choice: to de-escalate the situation by telling the protesters that it is time to leave Ottawa immediately. On Twitter— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, on Twitter, the Conservative Party continues to support the illegal actions taking place outside. The next potential leader of the Conservative Party keeps saying that he is really proud of the illegal actions going on outside. That is totally irresponsible. We are going to work very hard to stop what is going on outside.

Mr. Speaker, let us talk about leadership. When we see illegal actions occurring outside of this place, and border crossings and bridges being blocked, all these illegal actions, what would responsible leadership be? I will tell the member what it absolutely is not. It is not saying that they are proud and stand with the illegal actions they are seeing.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives opposite have been doing a lot of talking. I would pose back to them this very clear question. When the member for Yorkton—Melville said that ripping down barricades in front of the war memorial was an act of patriotic passion this weekend, and when their aspirant leader was saying that he is proud of the illegal actions outside and stands with them, is that the position of this caucus across from us? I would ask if they would stand up and condemn these incendiary tactics that are escalating this situation and join with us to say it is time for the folks outside to go home.
