As police officers methodically forced protesters from encampments

around Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa on Saturday, debate swirled inside the House of Commons about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s controversial decision to invoke the Emergencies Act.

The PM announced the move last week, calling it a "last resort" to deal with the occupation of Ottawa, the blockades at border crossings and other uprisings across the country.

But Simcoe North MP Adam Chambers says the “threshold has not been met” to unleash the “awesome and extraordinary powers” of the never-before-used Act which, among other things, can be used to freeze the finances of protesters.

In a nine-minute speech, the rookie Conservative MP said he could not support the use of the Emergencies Act, calling it a "sad and dark time" for the country.

Chambers stressed that Canadians have the “right to peacefully protest any government’s policy” but also acknowledged that the “rule of law” is fundamental.

However, he said it’s not up to the government to decide which “laws should apply in some situations but not in others.”

“Let’s be very clear,” said Chambers. “Not everyone who has participated in these protests is looking to overthrow the government. Many are looking just to be heard — peacefully.”

And that, he said, is what the Trudeau government has failed to do: to listen.

Chambers conceded that, “somewhere along the way,” the protest became lawless.

“But the answer to lawlessness cannot be more lawlessness,” he said, lamenting that Trudeau took his case to the media first before the House of Commons.

He said MPs received “no briefings. No secret intelligence has been shared,” adding whether it’s “incompetence or malfeasance” on the part of the PM is regrettable.

Chambers said the Emergencies Act is a “blunt tool” that is “disproportionate” when there are other options, calling its use “an indictment of (Trudeau’s) overall handling of the situation.”

The Simcoe North MP lamented that, as a country, “we’ve lost the ability to listen to one another.”

He also said he is sympathetic to those frustrated by the pandemic and the government’s handling of it.

“Many are frustrated... with overly punitive travel restrictions, redundant and confusing testing requirements, worried about losing livelihoods for making a medical decision,” he said, noting politics — not science — has been behind many of those decisions.

He also conceded “there are no clean hands in this battle of rhetoric.”

Chambers urged Trudeau to strike a different chord.

“The prime minister must be hopeful because Canadians need to see a hopeful way ahead,” he said, noting Trudeau has “discounted and dismissed the views of millions of Canadians with whom he disagrees.”

Chambers said such rhetoric “sows division” and must stop.

“We must show empathy over judgment, promote dialogue over silence, prefer persuasion over coercion,” said Chambers. “We must look for opportunities to deescalate. We need to bring people closer instead of pushing them farther away.”
