Mr. Jagmeet Singh (Burnaby South, NDP)

Mr. Speaker, sadly, we are in this crisis because we have seen a failure to take the crisis seriously at all levels of government. Now we are seeing indigenous and racialized people look at the double standard of how the convoy is being treated compared to those protestors. We also have deeply disturbing reports of military and police personnel who have expressed sympathy and support for the convoy. Will the Prime Minister provide assurances in the House that the police will use the powers given to protect people and not support the occupation?

Mr. Speaker, with all due respect for my colleague, perhaps she has not been watching the news. There are three installments of police reinforcements helping the police here in Ottawa. In addition, members of the RCMP have done a lot of good work, not just here in Ottawa but also in Windsor, where the Ambassador Bridge has now reopened. That is good for the economy and good for everyone, but we also need to look at new tools to help the police put an end to this illegal blockade and convoy.
