Mr. Speaker, as all Canadians know, when an emergency arises, accurate and timely information is crucial. As the commissioner stated: Keeping the government informed through timely and accurate information sharing is not interference. It's standard procedure, and these situational updates are provided without compromising the operational integrity of an investigation. Canadians rightfully have questions about the public communications that occurred during and after our country's most devastating mass casualty. That is why it is a focus of our inquiry.

Mr. Speaker, the former emergency preparedness minister politicized the criminal inquiry into the largest mass killing in Canada's history. There is no use denying it, the evidence is there. It is serious. He put pressure on the RCMP commissioner to disclose sensitive information so he could advance the Liberal agenda, although he was advised that it could hurt the investigation. Today, I have the following question for the Prime Minister: When will he fire him?

Mr. Speaker, I too am looking forward to the Prime Minister's testimony. Today, Inspector Robert Bernier of the Ottawa police confirmed that it was not the emergency measures that helped end the siege. The police operation was developed the day before, on February 13, by police officers who, at the time, were unaware of the federal government's intentions. Mr. Bernier confirmed that police forces carried out the operation as planned regardless of the emergency measures, because they already had all the necessary powers to act. Once again, can the Prime Minister explain why he invoked the Emergencies Act if there was no need for it? Was he just trying to follow in his father's footsteps?
