Procedure and House Affairs committee  I have a point of order, Madam Chair.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I just wonder if there might be agreement for the rest of the clauses, instead of recorded divisions—just to test the will of the committee—if we might adopt them on division. If somebody isn't enthusiastically supportive, maybe we could just do them on division.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Or at least one by one—if you want to go through them one by one—rather than recorded divisions, just on division if somebody objects....

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Surely, the minister should be able to tell us which law enforcement agency requested the invocation of the Emergencies Act.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, could I respond to the point of order without taking up my time on the questioning? If the members of the Liberal Party don't like the line of questioning, they're free to pursue a different line. We're talking about expanding the jurisdiction of the parliamentary p

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Are you complaining about assigning motive, Mr. Gerretsen?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I appreciate that, Madam Chair. I will point out that although my questions were responded to, I haven't received an answer. There are several police institutions responsible for the area around Parliament Hill. I'm trying to find out which one of them made the request for the

I have a series of very short yes-or-no questions to Minister Mendicino, through you, Madam Chair. Did the Ottawa Police Service request the federal government to invoke the E

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Is that a yes or a no? Did the Ottawa Police Service request that the Emergencies Act be invoked?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Which police service during the protest made the request?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No buildings were occupied and nobody was prevented from entering any buildings on Parliament Hill. Thank you for that. Chief Bell, there were reports.... A number of security concerns that were raised during the protests arose from the number of trucks that were allowed to park

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. Many of the streets that were blocked during the protests were blocked by police vehicles. Is that true that many of the streets in downtown were blocked by the Ottawa police?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The trucks themselves were parked on several streets, but not on others. Were there any negotiations between the organizers of the protest and the Ottawa police as to where the trucks would be allowed to park and requests made to keep certain streets open? Was there that type of

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm sorry. I only have about 30 seconds left. I would like to get a yes or no answer. Were there conversations, negotiations or discussions about where the protesters would be allowed to park their trucks? Please answer yes or no.
