\u0027It seemed to me it was a number pulled from a hat,\u0027 said OPP superintendent Craig Abrams at the inquiry into the use of Emergenices Act
That surprising revelation came on Friday from OPP Chief Supt. Carson Pardy, who recently retired from the force but was asked to lead the Integrated Planning Group in Ottawa, during the commission that is set to examine the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Pardy’s testimony seems to confirm deputy Ottawa Police Service chief Patricia Ferguson who mentioned, during her testimony the day before, that Sloly “spoke of a type of conspiracy” which led him to believe that the OPP team was being handled by its “political masters”. “Essentially, you need a plan to be able to communicate with police leaders when you’re asking for resources from around the province and in this case around the country. You need to be able to articulate what that need is and why that need exists,” said Pardy during his testimony.
“Chief Sloly told them that if they need 100 he will ask for 200, if they need 200 he will ask for 400. He seemed very comfortable asking for twice what he really needed,” wrote Abrams in that email. “Was a very strange call to be part of,” he added.
