Mr. Speaker, the Emergencies Act was a mistake from the get-go, and the government knows it.
Today, now that the dust has settled in Ottawa, it is even more of a mistake. Despite all that, the Prime Minister has decided to turn tonight's motion into a vote of confidence. That makes no sense. Why decide to make it a vote of confidence?
Is it to silence his own caucus, because some of its members are asking themselves serious questions, or is it to muzzle the NDP?
