00:00:00.000 Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister for the answer.
00:00:03.500 Speaker, the Liberals invoked the Emergencies Act without just cause, and they are now trying to cover it up.
00:00:09.620 The government used extraordinary power on innocent Canadians, restricting their movement and freezing their bank accounts,
00:00:16.960 and now they're trying to cover up the fact they did not need to use the Act.
00:00:21.220 As Perrin Beattie, the author of the Emergencies Act, said,
00:00:24.580 whenever you have extraordinary power, there must be extraordinary accountability.
00:00:30.000 Where is the extraordinary accountability that Canadians deserve? 0.96
00:00:35.020 What are the Liberals trying to hide when it comes to the Emergencies Act?
00:00:41.040 The Honourable Minister of Public Safety.
00:00:43.620 Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question.
00:00:45.840 The accountability comes in the professionalism and the way that the police undertook their work to restore public safety.
00:00:50.920 The way in which there's accountability, Mr. Speaker, is the ongoing way in which we're being fully transparent
00:00:56.120 with the events that led to the invocation of the Emergencies Act,
00:00:59.740 including testimony before the committee and our planned cooperation with Judge Rouleau.
00:01:03.460 Mr. Speaker, we invoked the Act because it was necessary, it worked, and we will continue to be transparent about this.
00:01:08.360 Thank you.
00:01:09.360 The Honourable Leader of the Official Opposition.
00:01:11.400 Speaker, the Liberals' just trust us is not enough.
00:01:15.000 This is the same Prime Minister that covered up his involvement in the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
00:01:20.260 He covered up his involvement in the WE scandal.
00:01:23.060 He's hiding documents right now around the Winnipeg Microbiology Lab.
00:01:27.360 He covers up every single scandal that he is a part of.
00:01:31.460 And now he's trying to cover up the fact that he was abusing his power when he invoked the Emergency Measures Act.
00:01:38.240 Why do these Liberals think Canadians should just trust them on the Emergencies Act when they continually hide, cover up, and deflect?
00:01:49.760 The Honourable Minister of Public Safety.
00:01:52.480 Mr. Speaker, with respect, it continues to be astounding how the Honourable Leader for the Opposition continues to deflect her responsibility for her conduct during the Emergencies Act,
00:02:02.340 for the posture of the Conservative Party, who continue to encourage illegal blockaders to stay.
00:02:08.240 And if they don't want to take it from the government, Mr. Speaker, listen to what the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police said.
00:02:14.280 The Emergencies Act is critical to assisting law enforcement in addressing the mass, national, and international organization of the so-called Freedom Convoy.
00:02:23.660 The words of law enforcement, non-partisan, professional law enforcement, Mr. Speaker.
00:02:28.040 Thanks.
00:02:34.160 Come on.
00:02:35.920 Neemed.
