Handwritten notes from one of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top advisers are shining a light on conversations that took place between the federal and provincial governments just hours before Ottawa announced it would invoke the Emergencies Act to end a series of anti-pandemic measure protests.
A collection of deputy chief of staff Brian Clow’s notes were entered into evidence Thursday before the Public Order Emergency Commission, which is investigating the federal government’s decision to trigger the never-before-used law on Feb. 14. The notes cover Trudeau’s call with the premiers hours before invoking the Emergencies Act.
