Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Prime Minister said that the Emergencies Act was not something to take lightly. The act has in fact never been invoked since it was passed in 1988, which is before I was even born. It is the absolute last resort. The Prime Minister said himself, and I quote: “It's not the first thing you turn to, nor the second or the third.” However, he did not turn to a first thing, nor a second, nor a third. He did absolutely nothing before choosing the most extreme option. Is that truly reasonable?
