Throughout the Public Order Emergency Commission, if you're looking for the biggest elephant in the room, here it is (Nov. 2, 2022). Council on ANY side hasn't addressed the following issues with the exception of Mrs. Scharf. Even the Chair had to say: "We haven’t had a list like that in any case."
JANE SCHARF:
"And then I have two objections. The first objection is this counsel -- or, sorry; this Commission was struck under section 63(1), and it requires Order in Council, which is the entire Cabinet, and only -- it was only based on the recommendation of Justin Trudeau. So that is a problem considering he’s the subject of the Inquiry and he’s calling it."
"As well, I’m understanding that Bill Blair set it up, so he chose yourself and whoever else is -- are significant administrators in this process. We find that that’s unreasonable considering these are the people that are being investigated, so they should not be setting up this process."
"And the Chair should not have been somebody that was selected from the Liberal camp, so to speak. And the other objection is the Inquiry is focusing on the grounds, whether there was sufficient grounds to call the Emergency Act, and this is, in my view, moot because the Emergency Act was also not invoked legally, according to section 17(1) which required an Order in Council, which would have been the entire Cabinet. The only time the Executive is allowed to make Order in Council without going through Cabinet is in an emergency. So they had to at least initiate the process through the Cabinet; that wasn’t done."
"So all of this, in my view, seems moot because if it wasn’t legal out of the gate, there’s the main issue. And that’s it."
COMMISSIONER ROULEAU:
"Well, that’s a good list. We haven’t had a list like that in any case."
