Mr. Speaker, all day, MPs have been talking about the impact these blockades are having on their respective ridings. We agree on one thing: this crisis needs to end quickly.
My priority is to help Bow Plumbing Group, a business in my riding. I worry that the use of force will lead to an escalation of violence, which will hurt Bow Plumbing Group. Indigenous chiefs like Kanesatake Grand Chief Simon say they are worried this will be another Oka crisis.
Is creating another Oka crisis the answer to getting supplies flowing to businesses and getting the railways up and running again?
