OTTAWA — The final sprint is on at the Public Order Emergency Commission, which has already heard from more than 60 witnesses over five weeks on the government's response to last winter's"Freedom Convoy" protests.
Those involved in the protests, which were organized in opposition to COVID-19 mandates and the Liberal government, are also expected to make an appearance by filling seats in the inquiry's public viewing area at Library and Archives Canada in downtown Ottawa. A heavy presence expected especially on the day of Trudeau's testimony.
Questions are sure to arise after last week's testimony of Trudeau's national security adviser Jody Thomas suggested that officials were relying on an ability to take a broader interpretation of what constitutes a"threat to national security" than what is outlined in the CSIS Act definition that the Emergencies Act relies on — even as she insisted both acts need to be modernized to reflect how threats have evolved.
