This is how the questioning may go,
Commissioner: Mr. PM why did you evoke the emergencies act?
PM: The police asked parliament for stronger laws to deal with those wretched people who drive trucks and threaten women.
Commissioner: Numerous police forces have testified that they made no such request.
PM: That was the information I received from my Public Safety Minister.
Commissioner: Mr.Mendicino did you tell the PM, the police needed stronger laws to deal with the trucker convoy that was parked on parliament hill.
Mr. Mendicino: Yes, that was the information I received from Bob, my very reputable news reporter.
Commissioner: Bob where did you hear the police needed stronger laws to remove the truckers from Ottawa.
Bob: I overheard Rebecca talking to someone on my lunch break at work.
Commissioner: I need to go home now, I think I'm going to be sick.
Mendicino whispers to the PM on the way out, "Well that went well."
PM, "it always does, and by the way give Bruce a raise."
"Do you mean Bob."
"Whatever, and find Rebecca, I want to personally thank her for her dedication to professional journalism."
