The Liberal government has claimed a number of times that it was necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act to compel towing companies to remove the heavy trucks from downtown Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy protest, but the city’s police deputy chief said on Thursday that tow trucks were on their way before the invocation.
“You stated earlier that you did have tow trucks lined up and that they were on their way to Ottawa prior to the invocation of the Emergencies Act. Isn’t that true?” asked counsel Rob Kittredge of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.
