Emergencies Act  Mr. Speaker, this is the problem with the Liberal Party: Every day the story changes. Every day the reason it needs these powers changes. We know from legal experts that it does not need these powers to stop blockades. The powers exist. No government, since Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Government Programs  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has failed Canadians.
