RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki said the act was enormously helpful, because it reduced the size of the Ottawa protest, which made it easier to finally move in…
Lucki told MPs that the RCMP didn’t directly request the act, but she said the RCMP was in discussions in the week before the act was invoked. She said in a variety of meetings the idea was raised, but it was the government’s decision to use it.
Lucki and CSIS director David Vigneault testified late Tuesday night at the parliamentary committee looking into the invocation of the act.Article content “It’s hard for me to evaluate or pass judgment on Chief Sloly, but I will say that I do believe there’s always enforcement options,” she said. “We watch police, hand in hand with protesters here in Ottawa. We watched handshakes and hugs and Coutts after weapons were found,” he said. “I do feel that it is because of the failure of policing, the utmost failure of policing.”
“Having you dance around the question, when I asked a specific question, in my opinion is not you being frank sir,” he said.
