Armed with an extraordinary trove of internal documents from multiple police services and all levels of government, the inquiry has heard about confusion, conflict and alleged mismanagement by police leaders in the lead-up to the decision to invoke the act. Questions are sure to arise after last week’s testimony of Trudeau’s national security adviser Jody Thomas suggested that officials were relying on an ability to take a broader interpretation of what constitutes a “threat to national security” than what is outlined in the CSIS Act definition that the Emergencies Act relies on — even as she insisted both acts need to be modernized to reflect how threats have evolved.
It’s fair to expect Trudeau and other ministers will “speak fairly freely,” said a government source, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the matter publicly. But their testimony will be subject to the same limits that lawyers have already encountered during the inquiry.
