Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Windsor West. I have heard the concerns he is talking about from Joyce and Mohammed, among others. I feel for my colleague who has not been able to see his daughter. The order has been in effect since Monday, but we see that the situation in his community has not been fully resolved. I know that my colleague will be voting in favour of the application of this legislation, but what about his community? Was the situation in his community resolved as a result of the order that has been in effect since Monday? Can its use be justified?

Mr. Speaker, first I would like to thank my colleague from Edmonton Strathcona. The things I have heard, observed and understood are deeply appalling. That said, one remark made me think of something. We can support the use of this act and vote in favour of it on Monday knowing the process can be stopped automatically, which is what we want. I think what just happened at the parliamentary precinct actually shows us that the police are able to work together under existing legislation. I do not know if I am mistaken, which is why I am asking my colleague this question. It is therefore possible to stop the use of this act, which is already being applied, even though the declaration is supposed to be approved on Monday. If I am wrong about that, can my colleague explain to me how what happened over the last couple of days is the direct result of this act?

Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking my colleague for mentioning that we are experiencing a crisis of trust. I witnessed the WE Charity saga. The first thing I thought was, how could our government be trusted? We are seeing unreasonable and disproportionate measures right now, and it is going to dawn on people that what has happened in the last few days is not because of the order. I would like to know if my colleague agrees with that. The order could be confirmed by Parliament on Monday, but it could equally well be stopped. Given what the world thinks of us, does my colleague think that the NDP might change its mind?
