Mr. Speaker, the Emergencies Act gives police forces nation-wide more tools to respond to emergency situations like the ones we have seen across the country. True, many of the barricades in many parts of the country have been handled effectively. However, the risk remains. Local police services in Quebec and elsewhere will have additional tools if they need them. These are responsible, proportionate measures that local police services can use if necessary.

Mr. Speaker, this is a national crisis, and we have seen the impact it is having. Weapons were found in Coutts, and the situation in Ottawa is deteriorating. It has become quite clear that it is time to put an end to the occupation. It is also clear that there is no occupation in Quebec. Is the Prime Minister prepared to make the commitment that the emergency measures will not be applied where they are not needed?

Mr. Speaker, the rest of the world is opening up and returning to normal. Where the science supports it, the provinces are providing Canadians with hope for the first time in two years, contrary to the Prime Minister, whose lack of leadership has brought him to invoke the emergency measures act, traumatizing Canadians. He is well aware that many provinces are opposed to these measures. He is also well aware that the science says they are not needed. Will the Prime Minister force the provinces to implement measures that they independently decided to remove?

Mr. Speaker, last Friday, the Prime Minister said that the Ottawa police had enough resources to deal with the protesters, and on Monday he calls for emergency measures. Boy, that escalated quickly. He had 17 days to act, and after hiding in his cottage on his MacBook for the first week, he did nothing but divide and stigmatize. My constituents in Saskatoon West want to know this: What changed in the Prime Minister's mind over the weekend to justify such drastic measures?

Mr. Speaker, I agree to support this motion, but unfortunately the problem was created by the government and that I cannot support. On an ongoing basis, in the future, when these issues are brought forward by New Democrats, I would hope it would listen. I know that to react in such an emergency situation is not always easy and we constantly learn from those mistakes. I certainly hope that will be something that the member and his government colleagues will learn from in the future and will craft legislation that would think about everyone who would be impacted with equality and concern.
