Madam Speaker, it is rather ironic to hear my colleague giving his speech. For the past 20 minutes he has been saying that elected members cannot ask the police and the RCMP to intervene in the conflict we are discussing. That is rather ironic because the government is talking out of both sides of its mouth. On the one hand, the government is saying that the RCMP must not intervene and, on the other, it is saying that the government must not tell the RCMP what to do.
Can the member tell me what he is really thinking?
Must we tell the RCMP not to intervene because there is dialogue or should we let the RCMP do its job, and not tell it to not intervene?
