Madam Speaker, my colleague did say that her government would not let these events tarnish Canada's reputation. The flag that she holds so dear has now become a global symbol of the far right movement and chaos. I would like to know, given that her speech seems to have been written three weeks ago, if my hon. colleague is getting help with her agenda.

Madam Speaker, the Canadian flag is the flag of all Canadians, including all Quebeckers, and I wear it proudly every day. In reply to my colleague, because I did not really understand his very bizarre question, I would like to point out that I have just seen that Quebeckers agree with the use of the Emergencies Act. More than 70% of Quebeckers approve of the invocation of this act, and I am proud to represent them.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her question. If there are people of good faith out there who want to express their opinion, that is fine. However, they have unfortunately been dragged into a movement organized by people who self-identify as being with the far right. It is clear. The connections have been made. We have received dozens of reports from people in Ottawa who have been insulted and endured racist verbal abuse by people who were in fact displaying neo-Nazi symbols and the Confederate flag. While most protesters are not carrying this flag, we have seen it, and the evidence is there. This illegal occupation, which is unfortunately supported by the Conservatives, does include a far-right element.
