Madam Speaker, a few moments ago, I heard that there is still a lot happening at the Ambassador Bridge. Knowing that the blockade atthe Ambassador Bridge was dismantled before the act was invoked, does my colleague believe that the act, which is in force at this time, will be essential to completing the efforts, that is to continue ensuring the safety and peace of people in that area?

Madam Speaker, I am astonished by the Liberals' comments of the past several days that this measure was reasonable, sensible and necessary. They have repeated several times that it was not the first, second or third option. The questions we have asked about those options have gone unanswered. We have had vague replies about being aware, about this being important, about providing additional tools and other such generalizations. I have a great deal of respect for the member from Kitchener—Conestoga and I have the privilege of working with him in committee. His efforts are generally focused on the common good and achieving results. I will humbly ask him to answer my question because we know one another somewhat and get along well, at least I hope that is the case. Could he tell me about the three steps that preceded the invocation of the Emergencies Act? Personally, I have not seen them and no one has talked about them.
