Mr. Speaker, we are in the second week of the siege in Ottawa. We have borders that are shut down across the country, including Coutts and the Ambassador Bridge. This is hurting workers, truckers, small businesses and families. We have a Prime Minister who is more focused on debating whose jurisdiction it is. Clearly, making sure our borders are open is a responsibility of the federal government. Will the Prime Minister stop hiding behind jurisdiction and fix this mess?

Mr. Speaker, this is second week Ottawa has been under siege and now the borders are paralyzed because of the convoy protest. Instead of solving the problems that are hitting families, workers and truckers hard, the Prime Minister wants to have a debate over jurisdictions. There is no debate to be had. That is clear. It is the federal government's job to ensure that our border crossings are working properly. Will the Prime Minister stop debating jurisdictions and solve the problem?
