Madam Speaker, I will give her a chance to respond. This is the first time that this legislation has been used since it came into force in 1988. In answer to his NDP buddies earlier, the parliamentary secretary to the minister said that this did not set a precedent. My question for the member is this: How is it possible not to set a precedent when this is the first time that such draconian legislation is being used? If the government comes up with an answer, Quebeckers and Canadians should be worried, because it is impossible for this not to be a precedent.
