Mr. Speaker, did the President of the United States talk to the Prime Minister about the need for at least a consensus within his own party so that Canada and Quebec can speak with a coherent voice internationally? Speaking of consensus, the Prime Minister told me last week that he agreed to organize meetings between him and the leaders of the opposition parties to build up a bit of information flow and consensus on the voice of this Parliament. I have not heard anything since. Should I bring my agenda tomorrow?

Mr. Speaker, we agree that this is very much a humanitarian situation. The international community must take humanitarian action, but it must do other things too. The Prime Minister's answer was long, but what he meant was that, no, he will not be part of the group, which has a lot more power to influence and intervene than even the G7 does in this context. Because I want to know more and understand better, yesterday I suggested that the Prime Minister invite all party leaders to meet and discuss these matters privately so we can all be on the same page and more easily build consensus around this crisis, which is bigger than our debates here and our current political issues. Will that happen?

Mr. Speaker, that summary the Prime Minister just delivered is, in a way, a summary of his own failure. Is he aware that an act as important as the Emergencies Act requires some consensus in the House? The official opposition is against it. The Bloc Québécois is against it. Once again, I urge the NDP to give this matter some careful thought. Does the Prime Minister realize there are other ways to handle this and that he lacks the legitimacy to impose this act on Quebec?
