Madam Speaker, with all due respect, the police and law enforcement authorities in this country deal with threats and deal with violence every single day. They deal with it effectively, they deal with it forcefully, and they deal with it definitively. Our Crown prosecutors make sure that those people come to justice. The expression that is coming to my mind is, “Oh ye of little faith”. Why do you have such little faith in the people who are tasked with keeping us safe? We do not need these extraordinary measures.

Madam Speaker, I never thought I would do this, but I am going to pick up on what the member for Timmins—James Bay just said. When will the Conservatives acknowledge that there is an actual threat that the police clearly do not have the means to contain? When will they admit that the evidence is right in front of them, what with the weapons seizure in Coutts and the threats made right out in the open on social media? What more proof does my colleague need to be convinced that the police are failing to contain the ongoing occupation here in Ottawa?

Madam Speaker, given my former career as a Crown attorney for the last 18 years, I want to draw on your reference to Mr. King and his comments directed toward the Prime Minister, which in my view constitute a threat to do grievous bodily harm. Do you not think this would provide the police with ample authority, under the Criminal Code, to lay criminal charges in relation to uttering death threats or anything of that nature, as opposed to imposing of the Emergencies Act?

Qujannamiik, Uqaqtittiji. I am very concerned about the extremist ideologies spreading across Canada. I have seen threats from as far as New Brunswick. Is it not important to prevent further support of these extremist views from taking root in the rest of Canada?
