Mr. Speaker, let me be clear: We are shedding light on the dark series of events that led to the invocation of the Emergencies Act. I am hoping for closure for those who were laid off and for the Ottawa residents who were held hostage in their own homes, and I would remind the Conservative Party that hundreds of serious charges have been laid that involve guns and conspiracy to commit murder. We will work with the judge to encourage transparency.

Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we are prepared to shine a light in co-operation with the judge on the circumstances that led to the invocation of the act. I would remind my hon. colleagues, particularly from the Conservative Party of Canada, that individuals were arrested as a result of their illegal conduct at borders which shut down businesses, required people to be laid off, and had members of this community right here in Ottawa hostage in their own homes. We are prepared to go through all of that in co-operation with the judge so there is transparency and accountability in conjunction with this commission. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
