Mr. Speaker, when the government declared a national state of emergency, every blockade had already been cleared by local police, except here in Ottawa. It is a lie to say that this special legislation was needed. As in other parts of the country, the blockades were easily cleared by local police. To try to justify his actions, the Prime Minister decided to consult the provinces. However, the provincial premiers did not think it was necessary to invoke the special legislation. Why consult the provinces when he had no intention of listening to them?

Mr. Speaker, that is where the Liberal government is not being honest. The terms of reference that it dictated to Justice Rouleau allow him to investigate wrongdoing by police but prevent him from investigating the Liberal government. We already know the outcome of the inquiry: Protesters are bad, police officers are bad, and the Liberal government is perfect. As with all the other scandals, it is the turn of police forces to be thrown under the bus. Why?
