Mr. Speaker, I very much appreciate the comment, the speech and the science referenced by my colleague, who has a lot of expertise in this area and is helping Canadians better understand the situation.
This is indeed a constitutional crisis. It is unbelievable and unprecedented that the Prime Minister became personally involved, using partisan politics in its purest form, in the judicial process of a criminal case. There is a way to resolve this under the law, and the Liberals did not do that. They dragged their feet.
At the end of the day, it is important to respect the choices of people who have access to all the evidence and who, in their heart of hearts, without any partisanship, in an objective and neutral manner, assess a situation that must be subsequently approved by the attorney general. That is what happened in this case, and once the decision was taken, Liberal partisanship reared its ugly head and made the situation even worse.
If by some misfortune people lose their jobs, they should talk to the people from the Liberal Party who dragged their feet and did this all wrong. The law must be obeyed and jobs must be protected, but without flouting the law.
