The Liberal government has missed a deadline to respond to the findings and recommendations of Justice Paul Rouleau, who headed a federal inquiry into the government’s first and only use of the Emergencies Act in 2022.

One year ago, Justice Rouleau issued his final report on the government’s decision to declare a public order emergency during the Freedom Convoy protests, which gridlocked the streets around Parliament and blocked international border crossings.
