House Hansard - 88

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 14, 2022 10:00AM
Context: House Hansard - 88 - Jun/14/22
Mr. Luc Berthold (Mégantic—L'Érable, CPC)
  • Jun/14/22 2:33:26 p.m.
  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, we have a Minister of Public Safety who has repeatedly said that the serious decision to invoke the Emergencies Act was made at the request of police authorities. All the police forces deny having requested the Emergencies Act. The minister knows this, and as a former Crown prosecutor, he knows the importance of telling the truth and nothing but the truth. Since he cannot take back what he said and a major decision about civil liberties was made, will he now do the honourable thing and resign?

Mr. Speaker, the Emergencies Act cannot be invoked when other legislation can do the job. The Minister of Public Safety knew that, which is why he justified his decision by stating repeatedly that the police had requested these extraordinary powers. No police officer, police force, chief of police or commissioner has confirmed the minister's assertion. There is no misunderstanding. This Liberal minister no longer has the confidence of Canadians. When will he be honest with Canadians and resign?
