Mr. Speaker, we have a situation where our country is paralyzed. There are significant impacts throughout the country.
We need to be a country where there is the rule of law. I recognize the RCMP needs to be given latitude to try to decrease tension and to do the job it is expected to do. However, we cannot have a government that says the government should not do anything when there are situations such as this. The government did not deal with the situation when there were early indications. It allowed the situation to fester, and it has not done anything. If there are no consequences, there will be increasing problems in this country.
