Premier Doug Ford has finally broken his silence about why he is refusing to testify at the public inquiry into the invoking of the Emergencies Act during the Ottawa “Freedom Convoy” protest.
Ford — who has ducked reporters and opposition MPPs since it emerged the commission of inquiry has summoned him and former solicitor general Sylvia Jones to appear — faced the music Wednesday.
“This is the federal inquiry into the federal government’s use of the federal Emergencies Act,” the premier said during the morning question period in the legislature.
