Declaration of Emergency committee  I appreciate that.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Mr. MacKillop, I'm sorry; I'm going to have to cut you there. Thank you.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Let's turn to Mr. Green. You have five minutes, sir.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I was going to suggest that we call the question. We're only speaking, as of tonight, on this motion for next week.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I want to follow up on Mr. Green's comments because, as you would expect, I may disagree with his assumptions around what the police did and didn't do. We don't know the facts of exactly what they were faced with at the time, and I think that will be part of what we will hear. I

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much. Minister, thank you for clarifying on the injunction, because I think it's a question that many people asked. I wanted to loop back to it. I think it's better understood both by me and by members of the public who may be watching. With respect to the tow tr

Declaration of Emergency committee  They were specialized trucks, which means specialized tow trucks. I want to be clear, because I don't want it to be perceived that it was on a whim at the request of the police, and I'm assuming the request came from the police. The second point I want to ask you about is this.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you. I know the Province of Ontario is moving forward with some legislative change for theirs, and I'm hoping that, at some point, somebody's going to look at the relationship between a provincial order of emergency and this act to determine whether or not we have gaps in

Declaration of Emergency committee  It would have been taken into consideration. I'm trying to get to the heart of the question on why not one of the levels of government looked at an injunction as one of the options prior to getting to a declaration.

Declaration of Emergency committee  We'll disagree on that, because I've actually been involved in a situation where an injunction was used. How that's used.... I just think there is a view in the public out there that asks, “Why did this individual have to do this on their own?” I'm not saying that it should hav

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you. It would also be interesting—going back to the point you made in your opening comments on the issue of restrictions for people coming to Canada for the purpose of the protest or such.... I assume, then, that there is some evidence that suggested we had people interest

Declaration of Emergency committee  The final question is one we asked your colleague Minister Mendicino. It's to try to get a sense of what point in the protest time frame it moved from a lawful demonstration to an illegal occupation. How would that align with your declaration of an emergency?

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much. Welcome, Minister, and thank you for being here. I'd like to talk a bit about Ottawa and the injunction. I'd just like to have a sense of what you saw as the importance—if there was any importance—of the multitude of complaints from the citizens of Ottawa.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you very much. Through you, Mr. Chair, perhaps I could address my question to Mr. Vigneault. I can't see whether he's still on the screen or not. Mr. Vigneault, you can advise. Were you surprised by the information you received with respect to the convoy and some of the i
