It seemed very clear to me that Trudeau felt that the provincial government wasn't getting the job done. He was firm on the point during his testimony.
GGG, I think you and others are belabouring the point about CSIS requirements not being met when in actuality, the CSIS requirement isn't especially relevant to the invocation of EA. If it was, why would the head of CSIS recommend the Act be used? I think critics of the federal government are looking for something that isn't there.
As I've said before, the onus is on the government to justify their use of the EA, and in this case I believe they have. Does anyone honestly think that the occupation would have been cleared up as quickly without the federal intervention? The efficacy and utility of the federal government's actions here justify the decision.
