With the inquiry into the government’s use of the Emergencies Act due to table its final report in the coming weeks, a legal advocacy group sent a letter to the inquiry’s commissioner asking that the Trudeau government not receive an advanced copy as ordered before it is made public.

The Institute for Freedom and Justice (IFJ)’s letter to Commissioner Paul Rouleau, the justice chairing the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC), notes that the Emergencies Act specifically requires the public inquiry to provide a report to each house of Parliament within 360 days after the revocation of the declaration of emergency.
