An independent, non-governmental National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI) into the government’s handling of COVID-19 is now calling for a variety of witnesses from across the country, announced former federal Official Opposition leader and veteran politician Preston Manning on Dec. 20.

At a press conference Tuesday, Manning said the NCI will hold nine hearings across the country and anticipates 300 to 400 witnesses from a variety of perspectives will provide testimony before a citizen-led inquiry. The NCI is inviting those who would like to participate to make a submission to take part.
