'Freedom Convoy' organizers are expected to testify at the public inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act starting today.

"Freedom Convoy" organizers are expected to testify at the public inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act starting today.

It has so far painted a picture of confusion and chaos among police forces and levels of government as officials tried to figure out how to respond. Barber was an early organizer, driving from his Saskatchewan home to Ottawa in January, with Lich at his side for much of the journey. The protest quickly evolved into what police and government officials have described as an all-out occupation, with demonstrators blocking traffic, blaring truck horns and setting up camp in city streets.

Lich has attended for the majority of the hearings, sitting in a public viewing area with friends and a small handful of supporters. Barber arrived in Ottawa last week and briefly attended one of the hearings. MacKenzie's lawyer has made an application to the commission asking that he testify in the absence of the public and parties or under a publication ban and saying that his presence in Ottawa last winter was "lawful and peaceable."
