00:00:00.000 This was a pretty consequential weekend this last weekend in Ontario.
00:00:07.000 You call it a siege.
00:00:09.000 Ottawa police said it was an insurrection.
00:00:11.000 A day later, the city of Ottawa declared a state of emergency.
00:00:14.000 On Saturday, there was a large-scale protest in downtown Toronto.
00:00:17.000 There have been a lot of questions about you and your visibility.
00:00:20.000 Premier, CTV News has obtained photos of you in cottage country.
00:00:23.000 We've spoken with people who took pictures of you.
00:00:26.000 Who say you were snowmobiling on Saturday, Premier.
00:00:30.000 Can you explain why you decided to go snowmobiling during a stated insurrection and siege in Ottawa?
00:00:35.000 Let me make it very clear, Colin.
00:00:37.000 I've been on this phone almost 24-7, along with the premiers, U.S. ambassadors, the governor, the prime minister, around the clock.
00:00:41.000 Make no mistake, I have been on this phone almost 24-7, along with the premiers, U.S. ambassadors, the governor, the prime minister, around the clock.
00:00:54.000 Make no mistake, I have been engaged from the second this has happened, and I'll be continuing being engaged with the authorities that we need to talk to.
00:01:06.000 Fair enough, but you are not dismissing what I'm saying here.
00:01:10.000 I'm asking you, Premier, were you snowmobiling on Saturday in cottage country while Ottawa was under siege, as you say?
00:01:18.000 Let me tell you, Colin, I was at the cottage.
00:01:21.000 I went out on my snowmobile.
00:01:23.000 I take calls until 1 o'clock in the morning.
00:01:26.000 I get calls before 6 o'clock in the morning.
00:01:29.000 And I will not stop until we get this taken care of.
00:01:33.000 And I will continue to make sure we're engaged in every single area of our responsibility.
