Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I think that's for this committee and for the public commission to assess from a legal perspective.

Declaration of Emergency committee  No, the reason I say it that way is that both this hearing and the public commission are collecting information and creating findings on what took place. There have been competing versions of what was intended and how things were implemented. All I'm saying is that, when all the

Declaration of Emergency committee  No. We were never approached to ask about how to seize accounts from a banking perspective.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Yes, I would. On the sanctions, as we mentioned, it's that there be a specific list, a process for determining how people are put on that list, and opportunities and processes for people coming off that list that are formalized, understood and prescribed.

Declaration of Emergency committee  The reason we had to go back was we didn't have the full set of orders. We had descriptions. Minister Chrystia Freeland had described what was coming, but we didn't actually see it. We started generating questions then, and once we saw the actual order, then we did get definiti

Declaration of Emergency committee  No, it wasn't dealt with in the order at all, and that's where I would distinguish it from the example of sanctions regulations
