Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague from Trois-Rivières for his speech. I particularly enjoyed how he ended it with something of a question. He wondered what will happen otherwise. He did not say it in quite those words. He said it more clearly. Parents who have raised young children will know that we often have to threaten them to get them to brush their teeth. However, the children eventually figure out that these threats will never be put into execution, and they use that knowledge to manipulate their parents. Today, the NDP has presented an extremely serious motion, written in a serious tone, as the subject at hand warrants. I would like to ask my colleague from Trois-Rivières what answer he is expecting when he asks whether the NDP will continue to support the government despite the indignation it is expressing today. If not, what will happen?

  • Re: Bill C-11 
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague. We would be happy to help her work on her French. We are already seeing progress with the member for Perth—Wellington. We have also received a lot of emails from members of the public, but I have to say that, with a few exceptions, none of these emails came from Quebec. They came from western Canada. I am not here to judge others' opinions. However, I believe that an interpretation, or disinformation, really, is what is behind the concern about Bill C‑11. This bill does not contain any threat to freedom of expression, from what I understand. At the very least, it does not contain any of the threats that people mentioned in the many emails we have received. There is widespread support for this bill in Quebec. Almost none of the emails my colleague is talking about came from Quebeckers.

Madam Speaker, I never thought I would do this, but I am going to pick up on what the member for Timmins—James Bay just said. When will the Conservatives acknowledge that there is an actual threat that the police clearly do not have the means to contain? When will they admit that the evidence is right in front of them, what with the weapons seizure in Coutts and the threats made right out in the open on social media? What more proof does my colleague need to be convinced that the police are failing to contain the ongoing occupation here in Ottawa?
