OTTAWA – “A fishing expedition”, “little foundation in evidence”, “purely speculative” and a “very significant distraction”.
Those are some of the words used by Emergency Act inquiry commissioner Paul Rouleau in a ruling that sternly dismissed a series of requests by a lawyer for Freedom Convoy organizers relating to government document redactions, a truck license plate and suggestions that a public affairs firm executive was a Liberal “provocateur” who carrried a Nazi flag at the protests in Ottawa.
