NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said it is unlikely that his party will retract support for the Liberal government even if the Public Order Emergency Commission concludes that the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act to deal with the Freedom Convoy protest earlier this year is unjustified.
Speaking in an interview with CTV News, Singh said his party will reserve judgement on the issue until all the facts have been publicized by the commission, which is holding a series of public hearings from Oct. 13 until Nov. 25 to look into the Liberal government’s invocation of the act on Feb. 14.
