It became “virtually impossible” to enforce the law in downtown Ottawa during the “Freedom Convoy” protests, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino testified at the Emergencies Act inquiry on Tuesday.

This was part of what fuelled the government’s decision to invoke the controversial act order to clear out the protesters earlier this year, Mendicino told the inquiry tasked with probing that decision on Tuesday.

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.
