Entered When? The above story is from Feb 2nd 2023, & the report gets released Feb 20th 2023….& they couldn’t hit the 360 day limit that they were mandated to. Or is this Judge ordering that this hidden evidence be entered into something else?
“Evidence of the cabinet proceedings that led to the decision to invoke the Emergencies Act was not disclosed despite repeated requests,” wrote Justice Richard Mosley. The internal emails were “essential to the just and proper determination” of whether cabinet broke the law, he said.
Well then, I guess it’s Mission Successful for Attorney General David Lametti even by losing then?
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association asked that internal records be submitted to the Court. The documents were already disclosed by the Public Order Emergency Commission….ah, ok, to something else then…
Department of Justice lawyers sought to keep the records out of Court, claiming cabinet confidentiality. Documents include emails in which police concluded the Freedom Convoy posed no security threat. “All this evidence is in my view admissible and relevant,” wrote Justice Mosley….Hmmmm….
Cabinet had claimed it was acting on the advice of police when it invoked the Emergencies Act. However, internal records revealed no police sought emergency powers. Several law enforcement agencies including the RCMP concluded the Freedom Convoy was not an extraordinary threat, etc…
Lie Detectors are misogynisticly racist tools of the right wing extremists don’t you know? Follow the Science!!
Any number of people can cause false readings on a polygraph for several different reasons. It's really not like you read in stupid spy novels.
To be honest, few do. I don't think they're admissible in court. I'm not sure how often they're even used in canada, other than for entertainment purposes and the like.
So, you admit he is useful........Hell, that's almost a compliment, way to go. He is going to have a swelled head now.
OTTAWA – A long-awaited report on the Trudeau government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act is due as early as Friday, but it is unclear when the public and parliamentarians will get to see the report???
Under the Emergencies Act, Commissioner Paul Rouleau legally has 360 days to submit his report to both Houses of Parliament. That clock runs out on Saturday, but not only is Parliament not sitting on the weekend, the House of Commons is set to rise for a two-week constituency break beginning Monday.
Reached on Wednesday, Michael Tansey, a spokesperson for the Public Order Emergency Commission, said he didn’t have any information on when the report would be presented????

“The Commission continues to work on its report,” he said. “We do not have information on the release of the report yet.”
The report is meant to be a fact-finding exercise and is likely to come with recommendations on how police and municipal and provincial governments handled the protests and blockades. Its central focus however is to decide on whether the Liberals were justified in their decision to invoke the act….
Once the commission does complete the report it will be up to the government to table it? So far the government has not indicated when that would take place?
Rouleau raised concerns about the tight timelines at the beginning of public hearings last fall when he noted that previous commissions like the Air India and sponsorship inquiries had much more time than he did.
“This commission of inquiry is unique, to the best of our knowledge, in that its deadline is set by statute!! Other inquiries have worked under deadlines set by cabinet. That sort of deadline is set based on an assessment of needs, and can and frequently is extended as circumstances require. This is not a possibility for our commission!!!”
The original order for Rouleau’s commission asked for a report that would be returned to the government on February 6, but he was granted an extension. The parliamentary deadline can not be extended however.
The Trudeau government named Rouleau on the absolute LAST day of their deadline under the law to do so. Rouleau also had medical issues, which delayed the start of public hearings by six weeks.
The deadline is Feb. 20, the final day allowed under law for the report to be given to Parliament and released to the public.

Terry Glavin: It was Justin Trudeau who picked the fight with the 'Truckists' — National Post
Looking back on what led to last year's bedlam in the streets of Ottawa
Yeah, I can see that. I’ve sort of expected it for a long time. It’s not a flexible deadline that the Trudeau government has the authority to play with though… and will just be another in a long line of scandals and ethics violations, and so on and so forth…. And somehow the ethics commissioner has quit a few days ago.
Coincidence? Maybe.
So you sayin there is room for improvement? Or that perfect is unattainable?
