Mr. Speaker, it is not a question of scare tactics. A bill is not judged on its intentions, but on its content.
It is clear in this bill that the Minister of National Defence can, if he sees fit, declare a zone as a military security zone for international relations, defence or national security. This could, for instance, be the case during a G-20 meeting for the entire national capital region. The City of Gatineau is part of that region and is part of the territory of Quebec.
Does this mean that the Mmnister of defence could order that the army be sent to Gatineau without even asking the government of Quebec to request its deployment to Gatineau? Is that what this means?
