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.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and seven cabinet ministers will appear this week before the inquiry tasked with scrutinizing their decision to invoke the Emergencies Act in response to weeks−long demonstrations that overran downtown Ottawa and choked several border crossings.
