Mr. Speaker, last week I attended the 40th annual Fallen Peace Officers' Memorial Service in Halifax, honouring Nova Scotian peace officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. This year, the name of RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson has been added to the fallen officers monument. Constable Stevenson was a 23-year veteran of the force who tragically lost her life during the Nova Scotia mass shooting in 2020. Watching her husband and children lay a wreath in her name was a sombre reminder of the risk these brave officers take to keep us safe. Tragically, in recent months, four more officers across Canada have died in the line of duty, so I invite all members in this House to join me in expressing our sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of Constable Andrew Hong of the Toronto Police Service, Constables Morgan Russell and Devon Northrup of the South Simcoe Police Service, and RCMP Constable Shaelyn Yang in Burnaby. These officers put themselves in harm's way to serve and protect others, and we will remember their sacrifices forever.

Mr. Speaker, with this Liberal RCMP political interference scandal, the minister continues to avoid accountability by using very specific legal words concerning ministerial directives to the RCMP. We are not asking about legal directives. We are asking about political interference. Did the minister, his chief of staff or anyone from his office discuss the forthcoming Liberal gun control legislation with the RCMP commissioner or her staff between the dates of the Nova Scotia mass murder and the April 28 press conference? Did they politicize the deaths of 22 people, yes or no?

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, at the Rouleau commission, three police forces confirmed that the Emergencies Act was never needed to end the truckers' occupation in Ottawa. The RCMP, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ottawa Police Service all told us they did not need it. The RCMP even warned the feds, hours before they invoked the act, that they had not yet exhausted all available tools. Can the Prime Minister explain why he invoked the Emergencies Act against the RCMP's advice?
