Mr. Speaker, Canadians can trust that this government will always follow the science and the best evidence to get us out of this pandemic. That includes getting vaccinated. Contrary to what my colleague says, this is an illegal blockade. This illegal blockade is not about the vaccines or the mandates. It is about a very small, organized group that is trying to upend our way of life. Now, we have made progress. We have seen the Ambassador Bridge reopen, we have seen Coutts reopen and we have seen Surrey reopen. Yes, yesterday, we invoked the Emergencies Act so we can secure that progress and give law enforcement all the tools they need.

Mr. Speaker, my apologies. For two years, the Prime Minister has insisted he is making decisions based on science. Canadians sacrificed, isolated, closed businesses and got vaccinated because experts advised that it was the safest way forward. Now those same experts say it is time to ease restrictions. Premiers are listening, but the Prime Minister believes he knows better and has invoked the emergency measures act. Does the Prime Minister intend to force the provinces to implement measures they, and science, disagree with?
