Mr. Speaker, on multiple occasions, the Minister of Public Safety said that police forces had requested the Emergencies Act. We now know that was not true. Even worse, the minister doubled down on his false claims on multiple occasions in the House, in committee and in the media. He even sent his deputy minister to committee to try to clean up his mess, saying he was misunderstood.
There is no misunderstanding here. He knows exactly what he did. He misled Canadians and he knows there must be consequences.
Will he do the honourable thing, the right thing, and announce his resignation today?
