Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Sloly. I join my colleague in thanking you for your service to our country.
I had a particular personal experience during the convoy. As I mentioned in a previous meeting, I walked to Parliament every day during the illegal blockade. On several occasions I was able to speak with police officers on the ground in plain clothes. I was just asking questions as a resident of Ottawa—temporarily, when I'm on the Hill. When I asked them why they weren't ticketing trucks that were blocking roads or enforcing, for example, the highway safety code, I was told again and again by officers that they had orders from higher up not to enforce the law and not to intervene.
I wonder, sir, if you gave those orders or if you know who did.
