QUESTION 144-16(6): ISSUANCE OF EMERGENCY PROTECTION ORDERS

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice. I’d like to ask the Minister if the department will look into the circumstances surrounding the issuance of EPOs, specifically the case cited earlier today by Mr. Hawkins.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you. The Chair is reluctant to put that question to the Minister. The Minister has already indicated that he is reluctant to answer questions on this subject right now.
