Facing multiple questions, Blair came to the defense of Commissioner Brenda Lucki, who is at the center of the controversy, which has generated calls for emergency parliamentary hearings.

“There was no pressure brought to bear and no interference with the operational decisions of the RCMP,” Blair told reporters on Wednesday. “I made no effort to pressure the RCMP to interfere in any way with their investigation. I gave no direction as to what information they should communicate. Those are operational decisions of the RCMP. And I respect that and I have respected that throughout.”

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland testified before the special committee reviewing the Emergencies Act on June 14 but left many questions unanswered, causing some parliamentarians to express frustration.

Even when asked repeatedly Chrystia Freeland wouldn’t say whose idea it was to invoke the Emergencies Act, but said that she will personally take responsibility for it.

It was a collective decision. But at that time, and today I’m talking of the reality for me, I would like to take the personal responsibility for that decision. It was my opinion. It was it was the correct decision.

“We’ve danced for 90 minutes, and don’t have any answers at all, actually. And it appears as if you refer to that binder a lot. Can you present it to the committee? Yes or no?” Motz said.

“I make no apology for preparing carefully for appearances and I believe in doing my homework,” Freeland replied. “These notes are for my own personal use.”
