The federal commission looking into the Liberal government’s decision to use the Emergencies Act is being granted an extension to deliver its report to the cabinet and the public at the same time this month.

The Public Order Emergency Commission is investigating use of the act to end the Freedom Convoy protest, which paralyzed downtown Ottawa for more than three weeks in the winter of 2022.
