13. misdirected
    Public SafetyMr. Blaine Calkins (Conservative) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). loaded question.The answer cites police statements but pivots to attacking the interim CPC leader instead of addressing the resignation demand.I wonder if that member would hold the same standard against the comments of the interim CPC leader, who said, in the middle of the blockades, to make this the Prime Minister's problem, to make it a political problem.
14. misdirected

17. deflected

20. misdirected
    Public SafetyMr. John Brassard (Conservative) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). substantive question.The answer pivots to demanding an apology from the Conservative leader rather than addressing the minister's alleged false claims.the only honourable thing is for the member to look to the interim Conservative Party leader of Canada and ask her to resile from the comments she made during the illegal blockade, which put at risk public safety.
21. deflected
    Public SafetyMr. Michael Barrett (Conservative) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). loaded question.The answer repeats citations of law enforcement support but shifts blame to the Conservative leader instead of clarifying the invocation rationale.it is astonishing to hear the member ask that question when I have repeatedly cited law enforcement community leaders who said they needed the Emergencies Act, that it helped to restore public safety and that it helped to fill in existing gaps among authorities, which were ineffective at restoring public safety.
22. misdirected

23. deflected
    Climate ChangeMr. Charlie Angus (NDP) asked Steven Guilbeault (Liberal). rhetorical question.The answer points to the 2030 plan details and expert validation without engaging the net-zero credibility or oil project contradictions raised.what strikes me is that the member does not seem to have read the 2030 emissions reduction plan, because it is a plan to reduce our emissions by 40% to 45%.
24. answered
    Public SafetyMr. Brian Masse (NDP) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). substantive question.The answer directly commits to collaborating on a border task force and acknowledges the member's advocacy.Of course, the government is committed to collaborating with my hon. colleague to set up this task force and to use other existing platforms to ensure we have a smooth flow of commercial goods and manufacturing goods, while at the same time protecting the integrity of our borders.
25. deflected

33. misdirected
    Public SafetyMrs. Stephanie Kusie (Conservative) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). loaded question.The answer attacks the questioner personally and avoids addressing the resignation demand or the claim of misinformation.I know my colleague enjoys certain privileges in the House that allow her to be rather reckless and loose with language.
34. misdirected
    Public SafetyMr. Frank Caputo (Conservative) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). loaded question.The answer shifts to attacking the Conservatives' conduct instead of addressing the specific accusation of misleading Parliament.That is what has gone on today, and the Conservatives should be apologizing for their role in prolonging those blockades.
35. misdirected
    Public SafetyMr. Frank Caputo (Conservative) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). loaded question.The answer criticizes the questioner's finger-wagging and pivots to attacking the interim Conservative leader rather than answering the yes-or-no resignation question.He ought to live up to the high standards that he purports to set for us, which includes being very straight up with his interim Conservative Party of Canada leader
36. misdirected
    Public SafetyMr. Michael Barrett (Conservative) asked Marco Mendicino (Liberal). loaded question.The answer defends the Emergencies Act invocation but ignores the resignation demand and instead attacks the Conservatives.it is the Conservatives who have some serious atoning to do after their performance today in question period.

It takes time, energy and commitment, and that will always include the creation of a Palestinian state living side by side in peace with Israel.
