Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is testifying Tuesday at the Public Order Emergency Commission and will likely face questions about his suggestion earlier this year that police requested the Emergencies Act during the so-called 'Freedom Convoy' protests, when they later asserted they did not.

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, whose file governs federal relationships with the provinces, is expected to testify later in the day and may be prompted to respond to Prairie provinces’ concerns they weren’t adequately consulted on federal plans.

The inquiry is scrutinizing the events and advice that led to the mid-February decision to invoke the Emergencies Act, which came nearly three weeks into the protests that took over downtown Ottawa and blockaded border crossings.
