Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. The Bloc Québécois's position has been very clear from the start. We are against the use of the Emergencies Act. We believe that leadership was enough to resolve the problem and the situation in many places in Canada. That proved that this law is not necessary. The Bloc Québécois is against the use of this legislation, and the Quebec National Assembly voted unanimously against it. We are therefore very comfortable with our position. I would like to ask the only Liberal member from Alberta a question. Does he not feel a little embarrassed to go against the Premier of Alberta's position?

Mr. Speaker, the Emergencies Act was a mistake from the get-go, and the government knows it. Today, now that the dust has settled in Ottawa, it is even more of a mistake. Despite all that, the Prime Minister has decided to turn tonight's motion into a vote of confidence. That makes no sense. Why decide to make it a vote of confidence? Is it to silence his own caucus, because some of its members are asking themselves serious questions, or is it to muzzle the NDP?
