He supports the protesters outside.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6937006\" data-originallang=\"en\"> However, the Canadian public voted in a democratic election, electing all of us to the House, including the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>, to enact bills, debate and go to committees. At exactly what point was there an affront to democracy for the Canadian voters who put us here to do the work on their behalf? Maybe speak up and use an example of what part of democracy was undermined, as you sit in your seat.</p>",
