Brenda Lucki testifies federal officials were losing confidence in Ottawa police to end the Freedom Convoy cdnpoli
Lucki’s witness statement indicates she didn’t offer a view to cabinet on whether they had met the legal thresholds to invoke the Emergencies Act. She did say in her witness statement that when the government invoked the act on Feb. 14 she believed there were still existing laws to resolve the crisis.
“Cabinet is on the verge of invoking the Emergencies Act. You are their window on law enforcement,” said Cameron. “You as the commissioner of the RCMP consider that plan to be workable without the authorities of the Emergencies Act.” “I guess in hindsight, yeah, that might have been something significant,” Lucki responded, adding there was a lot of “information going back and forth.” She said she knew only that the government was talking about invoking the act, not “where they were at.”Lucki said she’s not sure if delivering that message would have made a difference. She said now, in hindsight, “those authorities ended up to be useful with the plan.
She testified the financial powers granted under the act to freeze the protesters’ bank accounts had an impact. She said the RCMP can move officers across the country, but they have responsibilities in their home provinces.Article content “The interest definitely waned and the feedback we received later that week, from the protests leadership indicated that they were no longer interested in moving to that lawful protest site.”
