With another police chief saying they didn’t ask for the federal government’s Emergencies Act, Liberal cabinet ministers are continuing to insist the move was necessary to clear the Freedom Convoy from Ottawa’s streets.
Speaking at a parliementary committee Tuesday, Conservative MP Andrew Scheer asked Ottawa Police chief Steve Bell if he had asked directly for the government to invoke the Emergencies Act.
Bell said they didn’t ask for the act.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said police forces told them they needed powers to protect, powers contained within the act.
