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?
