Madam Speaker, my colleague wondered whether the NDP had lost or changed its convictions, since it took a firm, clear position against the War Measures Act in 1970. I would say to him that we are critical of people living in echo chambers right now because they only hear what they want to hear. I feel like that is kind of what is going on with the NDP right now, because they are only focusing on the abusive actions and words of the protesters, and they are forgetting that the debate is about the Emergencies Act. This act of last resort allows for the use of measures that might be unjustifiable under normal circumstances. Does my colleague not agree that the NDP is endorsing what could become a dangerous precedent?
