The Ottawa Police Services Board abruptly ended its meeting Monday as public delegates held a protest demanding action on restoring hybrid meetings and freezing the police budget. ottnews
Robin Browne and Bailey Gauthier, seated in the foreground, hold a protest of the Ottawa Police Services Board meeting Monday, Nov. 28, 2022, refusing to leave until their questions are answered.
“Every month, the same thing happens. You board members listen to our five-minute delegations, ask most of us no questions and continue to do the exact opposite of what almost every public delegate asks you to do, including approving multi-million dollar budget increases for the Ottawa Police Service,” he said.
A recess was called. Browne and Gauthier remained seated. When the meeting resumed, acting board chair Suzanne Valiquet ran through some of the items on the agenda, notably appointing Sutcliffe to the Policy and Governance Committee and the Human Resources Committee, and appointing special constables. During this time, Browne and Gauthier remained in their chairs and refused to leave, at one point playing a flute.
