RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki said shortly before the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act to clear convoy protests that not all existing legal tools to deal with the protests had yet been exhausted.
“I am of the view that we have not yet exhausted all available tools that are already available through the existing legislation,” Lucki said in an email to Mike Jones, chief of staff to the minister of public safety, on the evening of Feb. 13.
