OPP Supt. Pat Morris testified at the public inquiry Wednesday that by mid-January the force was planning for the protest to last as long as a month.
An OPP officer mans a roadblock along Wellington Street on Feb. 18.
Morris' testimony came the same day city councillor Diane Deans said former Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly stated in late January that he believed convoy protesters would be gone by the end of the first weekend.Morris said POIB collects information about protests believed to have the potential for criminal or illegal activity or impacts on public safety. He stressed that the bureau produced no intelligence to suggest convoy participants would be armed.
"We have an expression often in policing that you stay within your lane," he said. "My goal, as I saw it, was to produce intelligence to assist in decision making to the Ontario Provincial Police and to the Ottawa Police Service."Morris said OPP's intelligence was not met with approval by Sloly. Asked what he meant by long-term, Morris said, "we were beginning to schedule and plan at that time for two weeks, three weeks, a month."
