Emergencies Act inquiry price tag estimated at nearly $19M

The price tag for the inquiry probing the government’s use of the Emergencies Act hasn’t been finalized yet — but it could be roughly $18.8 million, according to the Privy Council Office (PCO).

A PCO spokesperson told CBC News that while the total won’t be known until the Public Order Emergency Commission completes its work, the federal government approved $18.8 million to cover its costs.
