Ottawa City Manager Steve Kanellakos told the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) on Monday that Freedom Convoy protesters never fulfilled their end of the deal to move trucks out of residential neighbourhoods, which was a condition to meet with Mayor Jim Watson, but protesters’ representatives counter that police never allowed the move.
“They never fulfilled their end of the bargain, so he never met with them,” said Kanellakos, the most senior public servant at the city.
