Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Prime Minister seems to want to be like his dad when it comes to doing things that are truly unprecedented, which includes the invocation of the Emergencies Act. He is the first prime minister in history to do so. For the previous version of that act, the War Measures Act, the only prime minister to have invoked it, outside of wartime, was Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
I do not know what it is about the Liberals or, in particular, the left in general. They are so desperate and hungry for power that they trod over the Constitution. In the case of our country, to fulfill their political objectives, they would trod over the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which has the signature of the Prime Minister's father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, on it.
What we have before us is a normalization of constitutional crises. It seems like, every which way we look, the Liberals have trod over the very institutions that have been built up in our country over 157 years to serve Canadians. They are trying to turn them into servants of themselves. That is wrong. It needs to be rejected outright. Conservatives will fix what the Prime Minister and the Liberals have broken.
