New court documents from the province reveal some insight into questions the Emergencies Act inquiry has for Premier Doug Ford. ottnews POEC
The government pointed out that the POEC interviewed Ontario Deputy Solicitor General Mario Di Tommaso and the Ministry of Transportation’s former Assistant Deputy Minister of Integrated Policy and Planning Division Ian Freeman, both of whom are scheduled to testify. The commission, however, noted that Di Tommaso said he could not speak for the politicians on certain points, and he could not speak to Ford’s or Jones’s state of mind.
The government is citing Parliamentary privilege in its case to keep Ford and Jones from being compelled to testify, highlighting that the legislature is in session, but correspondence from the Ministry of the Attorney General also shows that the government did not believe Ford should need to testify.
“As discussed, we do not share your view at the moment that it is necessary or helpful to the Commission to have an interview with Premier Ford at this time,” Darrell Kloeze, a lawyer for the ministry, wrote on Sept. 21.
Several police officers are testifying before the POEC this week. Interim Ottawa police chief Steve Bell spoke Monday and former Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly is scheduled to appear. The commission is examining the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act, which helped to clear the three-week occupation of Ottawa’s downtown by large trucks and protesters. Testimony is scheduled to continue into November, with findings expected by February.
