Crowd starts chanting “Let Maxime speak.”
Ottawa Centre PPC candidate Regina Watteel thanks crowd for their “courage” in showing up. Says PPC has law and constitution on its side.
A small group of demonstrators with Unifor flags are here. Unifor is the union with a mission of opposing the Conservatives. Not sure if these members are from the journalist division.
