OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Doug Ford and former solicitor general Sylvia Jones have been summoned to appear as witnesses at the public inquiry examining the
Commission lawyers said the summons was issued Monday after both Ford and Jones, who is now the health minister, refused multiple requests to appear.
The letter was written in response to a request for Ford and Jones to appear made last week by three lawyers for parties involved in the inquiry, including the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and a group of Ottawa residents affected by the convoy. In that same conversation on Oct. 17, Ford said the Ontario Provincial Police did an “incredible job” helping Ottawa police and RCMP clear protesters. He also said he stood “shoulder to shoulder” with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau throughout the convoy and the decision to invoke the Emergencies Act.
“We believe that questions about Ontario’s institutional response will be sufficiently addressed by the testimony from the two senior officials already selected by the commission.” “This is sort of I guess, the commission’s last resort is to issue a summons,” said Zwibel. “I think from their perspective, they probably would have preferred, you know, voluntary participation. But it’s pretty clear that these are individuals who have relevant information and evidence to give to the commission. And they need to be heard.”
