I'd like to ask you a second question.
I understand that based on how the act is divided, sections 62 and 63 deal with two different types of inquiries. On the one hand, section 62 deals with the review of “[t]he exercise of powers and the performance of duties and functions pursuant to a declaration of emergency”, which is what our committee is concerned with. On the other hand, section 63 refers to “an inquiry to be held into the circumstances that led to the declaration being issued”.
Do the review and the inquiry occur in silos, each one automatically excluding the other? For example, when the Governor in Council conducts the inquiry into the circumstances, will they be barred from determining that there should have been seizures, or that tow trucks should have been hired to clear the trucks from Wellington Street, in Ottawa, but that it was impossible to do that? Will all of that be excluded from the Governor in Council's work? And on the other hand, is it out of the question for us, in our review, to look at the circumstances that led to the exercise of these powers?
