The lawyer for Ottawa’s former police chief says the number of officers needed to clear the Freedom Convoy wasn’t “pulled out of a hat,” despite concerns expressed by a senior Ontario Provincial Police officer.
Supt. Craig Abrams told the public inquiry into the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act that he was in a February meeting with former chief Peter Sloly, who told his staff he would ask for double the number of officers they thought they needed.
