On Jan. 31, three days after protests began, Mr. Watson spoke with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking the federal government for RCMP resources for the first time
By the third day after convoy protestors had arrived in Ottawa it was clear the Ottawa Police Service was “completely outnumbered,” the city’s mayor told the public inquiry probing the federal government’s unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act.
On the call, Mr. Trudeau told the mayor, “nobody had any doubt what my position is on the whole thing,” and said “at some point, some of these people will have to ask, what am I doing in this crowd?” The commission, which is headed by Justice Paul Rouleau, heard from Mr. Watson on the third day of hearings, which are unfolding over six weeks and will include the testimony of 65 witnesses, as well as the examination of thousands of documents.
When asked by Ms. Rodriguez whether the hotel association’s information concerned him, Mr. Watson said that inquiring about a booking is not the same as making one, and noted that the organizer’s request was not followed through on, as many protestors stayed in their truck cabs.
