Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino repeated the false claim that Freedom Convoy protesters were linked to an Ottawa arson incident as he spoke during a meeting of the joint committee reviewing the invocation of the Emergencies Act.
Mendicino made the comments on April 26 after Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi asked if he recalled the convoy “honking at all hours” during the convoy’s three-week-long protest demanding the lifting of COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.
