Madam Speaker, I thank my esteemed colleague for his speech. This is indeed very concerning. We must not let foreign powers influence domestic policy, that is for sure. That is why, in my speech, I referred to the five reasons given by the government to justify its decision to use the Emergencies Act. I also pointed out that these reasons were justifiable and worthy of debate. However, in order to invoke the Emergencies Act, the government must demonstrate that the problem cannot be addressed by the ordinary laws and regulations already in place. It has not done so. There are already regulations and laws in place, for example,those concerning funding platforms. The government has not even tried to demonstrate that there is a legal void. That is our position.
