8:30 – Today is the deadline for an inquiry to be called into the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act, which was used to clear Ottawa’s streets during the convoy protests earlier this year.

Constitutional law expert Dwight Newman joins Gormley to go over the unanswered questions about the inquiry, which must deliver its report back to Parliament by Feb. 18, 2023.
