NDP MP Matthew Green challenged Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Tuesday during a special joint committee on the invocation of the Emergencies Act about the answers she was providing, saying she had cited news articles and people spoken to as primary sources. He said they needed to know if the government had “facts that would meet the economic impacts of the occupation to be significant enough to meet the threshold of a threat to national security.”

MP Matthew Green expressed his concern for the lack of facts being provided during questioning “You’re here both as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. I have to say that I’m very concerned with the nature of the answers we have now the fourth intervention. And I’m not sure that you’ve brought any additional facts.”
