Mr. Speaker, I am rather fascinated by what I just heard: We listen, we collaborate and, when the other parties give us advice, we follow it.
That is ironic because during the rail crisis with the Wet'suwet'en in January, we said for weeks that the minister and the Prime Minister should go on site and negotiate instead of sending the RCMP. They did not listen to us. It took weeks and, in the end, they went on site and that is how the crisis was resolved.
We are currently experiencing the same thing. They let the situation deteriorate and today we find ourselves having an emergency debate to resolve it. I agree with my colleague that they should listen to us more often. When they do, it works.
I would like to ask my colleague the following question: What other situation will have to get out of hand before they take the opposition's advice?
