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.

Bill Blair Says Police Did Not Ask for Emergencies Act Saying it is a Decision of Government https://canadianriley.com/bill-blair-says-police-did-not-ask-for-emergencies-act-saying-it-is-a-decision-of-government/ https://canadianriley.com/bill-blair-says-police-did-not-ask-for-emergencies-act-saying-it-is-a-decision-of-government/?noamp=mobile#respond Thu, 16 Jun 2022 00:41:12 +0000 https://canadianriley.com/?p=550 Former Public Safety Minister of Bill Blair contradicts current Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino.   Emergency preparedness minister Bill Blair is the latest to admit that the police didn’t ask for the Emergencies Act to be invoked:

“I’m not aware of any recommendation of law enforcement,” Blair said Tuesday. “Quite frankly, this is a decision of government.”

Blair said during the “Freedom Convoy” he spoke regularly with police who “were clearly having difficulties” restoring law and order, and that his role was to try to figure out why that was happening.

In response to Sen. Claude Carignan, who asked if Blair was aware of any such recommendation, he said, “Frankly I would have been quite surprised if the police had actually made a policy recommendation or asked for any legislative authority.”

“I do not believe that would have been an appropriate thing for law enforcement to ask, and they did not ask,” Blair said.”

During Emergencies Act committee testimony Bill Blair also admitted that Marco Mendicino misled Canadians when Mendicino linked the Freedom Convoy to the arson attempt in Ottawa.

Bill Blair confirms during testimony that police did not ask for the Emergencies Act “I’m not aware of any recommendation from law enforcement, quite frankly, this was the decision of government. It was it was it’s a decision of the government.”

Watch as the House of Commons goes crazy during intense debate with Marco Mendicino over his invocation of the Emergencies Act misinformation. The federal Conservatives say the public safety minister has lost credibility over his comments about the decision to invoke the Emergencies Act, and they’re calling for him to resign.
