The Liberal government has had nothing but contempt for the public inquiry into its use of the Emergencies Act last winter, and Attorney General David Lametti’s testimony on Wednesday offered nothing to convince Canadians otherwise. Instead of elucidating the decision to invoke the act and claim extraordinary emergency powers amid the Freedom Convoy protests and blockades, Lametti repeatedly claimed attorney-client privilege and avoided answering questions.
The client, of course, isn’t some mob boss Lametti is protecting, it’s the Government of Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet could have waived privilege but have, so far, chosen not to — an utterly shameless decision.
