Thank you very much.
I am pleased that we will be able to go over and start the conversation, reviewing it. I am hoping that we can count on the good faith of all members, and hopefully the police forces to get in front of us as soon as possible.
It's not because of anything that I want individually, but I am always mindful of who we are and who we represent. I represent the 120,000 people of Northumberland—Peterborough South and so I believe that those 120,000 folks more than deserve the opportunity of one hour of a police officer's time to explain to us exactly what is going on in our country.
We have the Emergencies Act and the honourable member, Ms. Damoff, certainly points out the fact that this will be discussed in the chamber, but I think we can actually add to that conversation and those discussions. Why would we wait until afterwards to dissect what went wrong when maybe we can help the government not do what is wrong in the first place? To me, it's much better to prevent the milk from being spilt than to start complaining about it.
While I think it's somewhat regretful that the member has said this is partisan in nature, I can assure her that my intentions and the intentions of all the members here are good. We want to make sure that this doesn't go the wrong way. This is potentially a very dangerous situation and we want to make sure that the lives of Canadians and police officers and those who are sworn to protect us are in the best possible position to make sure they succeed and that we can go forward in a united and prosperous Canada.
Thank you.
