Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Commissioner and Deputy, for being here.
Commissioner, you've probably heard over the last significant period of time about the distrust that the Canadian public has in Minister Blair, and his perceived interference in the Nova Scotia mass shooting.
On the heels of that, if you will, we find a text from Commissioner Lucki to you around February 22, just before the Emergencies Act was about to be revoked. She asked you, “Has minister Blair hit you up for a letter to support the EA?” You said, “No, he has not. Should I expect to hear from him?”
I find it odd—don't you?—that after the fact, we have a minister of the Crown seeking support from the police, who had been saying all along that they were supportive of this.
