Senator, Quebec (Mille Isles), C

Thank you, Madam Chair.

My question is for Commissioner Lucki.

You said that you learned on February 14 that a state of emergency would be declared. On February 15, the Emergency Economic Measures Order was issued, making it possible to freeze individuals' bank accounts, life insurance, disability insurance, RRSPs, TFSAs and so forth.

Did the RCMP ask the government to give it that additional authority or to implement those additional measures?
